[CODE4LIB] Python CMSs

use FormIt in MODx, and now I'm spoiled. And, I mean, if there's a CMS on top of another Python framework you think I should be considering, feel free to throw that out as a possibility, too! Thank you! -- Coral Sheldon-Hess http://sheldon-hess.org/coral @web_kunoichi

Re: [CODE4LIB] Python CMSs

iously I'd pick WordPress. It's "build something really flexible and extensible and, hopefully, fairly pleasant to manage." And a sub-goal is that I'd like to do all that in Python. :) Does that make sense? -- Coral Sheldon-Hess http://sheldon-hess.org/coral @web_

I was lucky to work for an academic library that served two universities, so we ran our own servers and got to pick our own look. BUT, the municipal library down the street was stuck in a bad CMS, with municipal IT that didn't want to spend time helping them. (I'm over-simplifying, a little, to ma

Even though Code4Lib is single-track, I readily admit: I do not see all of the presentations as they're happening.

This can't have been an easy decision. Thank you, to the Chattanooga local committee, for all of the work you've already put in -- much of which will be, sadly, even more invisible, now that we are not holding the conference there. I'm not sad that we aren't holding the conference in Chattanooga--

One note about what we're discussing: when we talk about just doing the regional events (and I mean beyond 2017, which will be a special case if a host city can't step in), we need to realize that we have a lot of members who aren't in a Code4Lib region. You might think I'm talking about Alaska, b

If we wait to start talking about it until conference 2017, that means conference committee 2018 will have to find its own temporary fiscal agent. Or 2018 could just not happen at all, I guess. Even if we do all the pre-work and just wait to make the decision at the conference, that doesn't leave
