* At yesterday's meeting, the thought surfaced that we need
to know what the other systems provide in the way of
evaluation capabilities, for comparison with SlashDot.
* Today, it occurred to me that, all things being equal,
we should chose the system that is most "hackable" -- that
is, the one with the most modular architecture and the
most reasonable language for hacking in.
* At the moment then, I'm inclined to rule out ArsDigita
(Tcl) and SlashDot (Perl + installation process).
* That leaves PHP/SlashDot and Zope. The questions as I
see them are:
* What kinds of evaluation mechanisms do they offer?
* How good a language is PHP for our purposes, vs.
Python?
* Since PHP/SlashDot uses the Apache Server and Zope
is a full server in its own right, how important is
it for us to hack the server? Can we be fully non-
denominational with respect to servers, or will we
need to make important hacks to the server to
implement the functionality we envision. (The former
argues for PHP/SlashDot. The latter for Zope.)
