There is a fairly long story behind Albatross.  I will try to
summarise.

The original toolkit (not Albatross) came out of a consulting job that
we performed.  The customer needed an easy to understand toolkit for
building an public access web application.  We looked at Zope and came
to the conclusion that it was beyond the capabilities of the
developers who were going to have to use it at the customer site.
They even expressed quite a bit of resistance to Python in general
(they did not want to have to learn a new language).

Albatross is a 3rd generation version of the toolkit that we developed
for the customer.  They had some fairly narrow financial system
requirements which were not something we wanted to build into a more
general purpose toolkit.
