Hi everyone,

I've got a software project I've been working on for the last year or so
that I (and my employer -- coincidentally, Sam's emplyer too) would like
to open-source.

Like most perl projects, it takes DB content, HTML templates, a config
file, and generates output.  In this case, the motivation was that we
needed a cheap 90% solution to wean a number of clients off of expensive
proprietary first-generation CMS systems that couldn't handle heavier
traffic loads.

We've used this system for about a year now, and it's been a success.  As
it builds out static HTML content offline, webserver costs have gone down
dramatically, as have DB costs.  It has also scaled fairly well,
supporting sites with anywhere from 1,000 to 1,000,000 pages of content.

HTML::Template::Expr is the templating engine behind all of this (thanks,
Sam!).

Is there interest out there in a project such as this? 

Furthermore, does anyone have any suggestions on a name?  The current one
is a guaranteed lawsuit in a public forum, and besides, it's not all that
great a name anyways.  

All input greatly appreciated.

        thanks,

        --pete
