Re: [pygame] PyGame Website Rewrite

I'm actually for you guys using Django.

"""
If most of the people that are motivated to do the work already have experience
with Django I think it would just be more work for all involved using a custom
CherryPy stack.

Contributors would have to follow the evolving `framework`. They'd have to spend
time documenting it if they wanted to make it easy for more people to
contribute. They'd likely waste time arguing over the best ways of doing things
and which components to use. Would it ever get done? Or would everyone just get
sick of it?

For an opensource project with potentially quite a few people working on it (The
more the better right?) then I'd say Django would be a good fit due to the
`free` unified documentation and resources surrounding it and the fact that
every one is on the same page.
