Monks,

I manage a web site for a community group. What with one thing and another, I don't have time to keep it updated, leading to some grumbling in the ranks. I'd like to be able to push the work out to a few assorted folks in the community.

Originally, my plan was that I'd write such a monster application myself, but with all the other stuff that takes up my time, this project has been stalled now for too long, so I need to go with Plan B, which is to install something on the account I have with my web provider, pair Networks.

I have installed and used PmWiki, but haven't been thrilled about how it looks. I've heard good things about Django. What I'd like to have is something I can hand out commit bits to a variety of people for a variety of sub-sections of the web site. I'd love it if some of the pages could just run a CGI so I could keep some of the parts of the web site that I've automated.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Update: Sorry, folks, kinda posted that in a hurry -- I've fixed the links.
