I saw a ticket in Trac talking about a conversion from custom PHP to using
Drupal CMS. Is there any activity on this front?
If not, has Django (Python) been considered?

Pros:
 + Enables unification of the data access layer between scripts and Web apps
(Django ORM).
 + Enables web apps to extend existing Python management scripts.
 + More Python code, reducing the number of disparate languages used in
BOINC
 + Django is modular, so the BOINC app could be literally plugged into any
existing Django app
 + Django generates a nice admin interface for basic CRUD data functionality
 + Authentication, etc, built in

Cons:
 - Requires a reworking of the existing scripts (wouldn't have to be
done immediately ).
 - Someone has to create the BOINC Django app
 - mod_python & Django dependency
 - Drupal has more shrink-wrapped CMS features
