There are several reasons why we should be converging on a single
dynamically typed language and single statically typed language, as much
as possible, for fedora infrastructure:
  1. conservation of skills
  2. consistency of message
  3. component interaction

Right now we have a buildsystem in python, an accounts system in python
a wiki in python and all the major tools for fedora, in python, but
we're testing out php-based cms? Am I the only one who thinks that seems
kinda dumb?

I think we should be looking at some of the python cms implementations
and for custom applications looking at turbogears and friends.
