I've stayed out of this one so far because of a natural disinclination 
to join religious discussions, but sine we are now talking good common 
sense I'd like to ask whether a *batch-oriented* system for folding 
database content into a static web site with common look-and-feel would 
be of interest.

Now PyCon is over I've been able to blog about the techniques used to 
generate the web site at http://www.holdenweb.com/, and most recently 
about using reStructured Text in the database to ease authorship 
problems for the less-taxing content. See

http://www.holdenweb.com/blogs/2005/04/versioned-reviews-implemented-post.html

to determine whether the overall approach would work for you.
