[Mailman-Developers] [Mailman GSoC] Archive UI Web Framework

[Dushyant Bansal]

Hi all,

I was looking for a web framework for Pipermail UI. I have decided to 
use Pylons.
Anna and benste wanted to know the reasons for choosing pylons over 
Django (As benste is already using Django for mailman WebUI). So, I 
thought I should discuss it with all of you.

  Andrew is working on converting Pipermail to use Storm/SQLite instead 
of pickles to save data. So, the framework needs to have support for 
Storm ORM. Django has its own ORM and Storm cannot be used with it 
natively (Though storm is said to have support 
<http://blogs.gnome.org/jamesh/2008/09/19/django-support-landed-in-storm/> 
for django, I could not find anything further to try/test Storm with 
Django).
Pylons doesn't provide any ORM and I have tested a small application 
using Storm.

Please give your feedback.

Regards,
Dushyant
