As already elaborated here, using the Django API on Google App Engine
will result in a nicely portable site. Please dont't try to make us
believe that there's just black and white, it's just not true.

Hmmm, taping some reinforcement to the undercarriage and replacing the
engine still requires a lot !! of work but is in no way a means for
turning a VW Beetle into a Porsche .... ;-)
Some _core_ deficiencies will still remain, and if "we" are aiming at
prominent headlines, then we'd probably better go for the Porsche,
since the 'competition' is driving a simiar car - at minimum.
Cheers,
Martin.
P.S.: Recently a Ferrari Enzo has been driving by our house several
times a week, I assume one of the neighbours is the owner.
The machine sounds as if you were burning a row of small
firecrackers ;-)
