As one of the people who has been the 'person' in this conversation,
please allow me to publicly back your position.  You are perfectly
correct.

But ...

We have been laboring for months without needed functionality on
fedoraproject.org

_If_ there is an end in site, then great.  But I want to know that our
RFEs are not going to sink into a blackhole.

Obviously, you have been a one-person show, which explains much of this.

So, I'm going to pledge my efforts to find you more resources, probably
from within Red Hat.  They can work in Python, put up a Python-based
CMS, add functionality to Moin Moin, and support whatever packages into
FE that we need.

If I can do that, can you, Seth, as the fp.o Chief SA, and to everyone
else on this list, make this pledge:  to make these additional functions
a high priority?  Provide status updates on when they can be completed?
Give us some chances to work with beta versions?  Etc.

Here is a quick list:

* Two-way editing of XML in CVS using the Wiki.
* CMS back-end to allow us to have:
  - More writers and editors of content using a workflow that forces
approval before content can be posted.
  - More Web-based functionality to attract contributors, without
compromising on the extreme value of having all in XML
* The ability to do more automagic with aggregation and building of
content on the fly (RSS feeding into XML templates, or whatever)

Anyone else have anything to add here?

I think we need a separate thread to discuss the functionality of our
CMS, separate from a discussion of specific solutions and languages.
This topic may already be going, but I can't tell because all the
messages seem to be about "[Fedora-websites-list] Re:..." and I haven't
read through them yet. :)
