The reasoning for this was the mention in this thread of bench marking the results, in which I've learned will have mre to do with your choosen database and how you use it than anything a framework does. The second is it would be easier to host all results under one roof if they all used the same database, and I know sourceforge runs MySQL. Considering that all entries will be run under mod_python, and that mod_python can setup custom interpters and namespaces/module directories per vhost, I don't see any reason they can't live on one host. Does someone's framework *not* run under mod_python 3 / Apache 2.0 / python 2.3? If no one is going to try and benchmark the results, then this isn't as important. I do however feel that if we are showcasing the business use of the frameworks, then a relational (open source) database should be required. You may not need that for your blog, but if you are looking at a framework to be used in a corporate setting this will be very important. Mike
