Right... "they" say that Rails is pretty efficient, and Mongrel is
probably overkill unless TUNES becomes the next Slashdot -- and it
won't, but at least we'd have an easy migration path if we use Rails
for Phase II.  If it's as expedient, elegant and reliable as it's
cracked up to be, I want it.  If there's not a clear choice, it might
be fun to develop separate Python and Ruby front-ends to the CMS for a
while.

Thanks, I'll get to the doctor at the first sign... my boss is already
on a prophylactic treatment, having had a definite tick bite.  I
usually notice them before they dig in.  No big deal, anyway, just a
job hazard :-)
