But finding a framework that pleases everyone has never been the goal. The important point has been to get a site up and running that *visitors* are pleased with. That Plone's or CPS' workflow model do not fit your frame of mind is of very little interest. we had a student who came one afternoon and created the "getting around göteborg" pages (http://www.europython.org/sections/location/getting_around_the_g/bp_to_ep) and it took 5 minutes before he could start using the software. Which is why I still don't understand what you are bitching about concerning the site .. If you can't learn different ways of working with software than the ones you are used with, then I would say that it is a problem of yours in the first place. /JM _______________________________________________ EuroPython mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
