Hello, everyone. <introduction>I did some work with God--er, Glyph--on Twisted Reality back in the days when it was in Java.

Hi Michael! :)
I'm considering using Twisted for a news/portal site in a similar style to Slashdot. Glyph told me that there's been some discussion about creating a Twisted package along these lines. I couldn't find anything in the archives; has anyone started work on such a thing?
Hm.. There have been a few attempts at a weblog, and the most recent one was just removed from CVS for lack of maintenance. The only hurdle I can see for creating a good blog system (utilizing WebWidgets etc) would be lack of decent database support in Twisted. There is glyph's adbapi module, which is an async interface to dbapi, but I'm not sure how useful it would be (note that I have very little experience with dbs). Anyway, if you do decide to do this, give me a holler and I'll help out.
Also, does the server run reliably under Windows 9x?
I'm not sure about this one. I know people have run it on windows, and I know for certain that the CGI interface won't work (although this is irrelevant), but I have no idea how it performs or how easy it is to get running. -- <bram> have I mentioned there's a FRIGGIN BUTTLOAD of ways web input can go bad? -- Chris Armstrong <<< radix@twistedmatrix.com >>> http://twistedmatrix.com/users/carmstro.twistd/
