 Anything you can do from python can be done via CGI.  Anything.

Ahhh, reminds me of CGI.pm (and oh the fun I used to have with that :-). I
hear you. Hey, I won't -1 any webapp contribution, CGI, framework or
otherwise. I think there is Gump Gold in that direction, and feel that any
step there is worthy...

regards,

Adam

 yeah, sams weblog package and ViewSVN :-D. Zope is something I totally
 don't understand on looking a little closer, for example. I mean,
 there's a ***class*** named Interface! I am a big turd when it comes to
 python. I can write like 3 lines of code in one go and then things start
 breaking.

Yeah, it takes a while to get into, doesn't it. Replacing Java thinking for
Pythonic is hard, and I know I've not acheived it (in any sense) yet.
Running pychecker on Gump shows that for a fact... ;-)

 I would just love to see how Sam sets this up.

I think you already did. ;-) Lean and mean. :-)

regards,

Adam

If this was available I would definitely use it to post details about 
what is going on relative to the projects I'm associated with. 
Furthermore - it would provide an extra hint that there is someone 
somewhere dealing with a problem as opposed to waiting n days for a 
change in status - which is something I would find really valuable in 
terms of projects I'm dependent on.

The hardest thing is authentication (something that the peascarrots 
blog sidesteps nicely via CVS).

Starting long running tasks is made possible by platforms that support 
fork (sorry Windows).

Beyond those two the next biggest hurdle is the markup that is produced. 
 If that is relatively straightforward (in other words, uses techniques 
like CSS instead of things like spacer gifs and nested tables), then 
building CGIs is downright trivial.

If we can settle on an authentication mechanism, and agree to not worry 
about Windows initially, and get a clean CSS-based skin for gump pages, 
I can start picking off tasks from Adam's original list.
