That's what I was thinking. It'd still need mod_midgard support to make
the DB connection available, so there's work to be done thinking up an
architecture/interface for this.

Hey, you got my vote.

I don't have any concrete plans about file storage other than that I
want to have it. Trade-offs will have to be made about flexibility vs
performance (filetemplates were flexible but very slow), readeability
(FTs were not really easy to read/code), and mounting issues (at what
point in your URL tree does the app hook in, how does it tie in to the
selected host/style), and authentication forceing (midgard pages can
demand authentication, not so easy for phase 9 work). I would personally
be OK with the app having to be bundled of sorts to pre-determine what
elements were appliccable (this would be akin to MMP caching out the
paes) in order to win some performance; one thing we'll want to avoid is
having a lot of disk reads/seeks.
