That's an approach I'm currently experimenting with - the content of 
www.holdenweb.org is mostly static but generated from a database, and 
the current tasks include completing a wxPython database maintenance 
GUI, incorporating various ways to generate scripted content that 
matches the look and feel of the rest of the site and adding more and 
more ways to generate the interior content.

It's obvious by comparison with www.holdenweb.com that there's a good 
deal of design commonality.

I'll be looking for beta testers eventually ...
