OK, then, more substantial: I personally lack confidence in any tool that
uses an in-memory object database to store persistent data. I also feel
pessimistic about our ability to extend and integrate a tool which uses
radically different storage mechanism than the other tools we're using.
Finally, for any of these things I forsee asking the communites involved with
those projects for help, and it seems foolish to beg for help (as would
probably be required of a project that does nor support PG) when there are
people offering to help us.

THIS JUST IN: as if we didn't have enough options, Talli of the OpenACS
community has offered their help with using OpenACS modules for any of the
web tasks we've discussed. More later.
