We're taking ideas, but right now the main thing I'd like to see is ideas
about what the website should do, as opposed to how it should be built.
I started such a list in my announcement. Then when we get that fleshed
out a bit it'll be easier to figure out how to do it.

However, when we do get to how-do-we-do-it time, we're going to need some
people to champion their favorite technologies, or those technologies are
not going to get much of a hearing. If you think template-toolkit is the
right thing to use once we get our requirements in order, then by all means
push for it -- even show us what you can do with it. But I think that the
requirements list is going to go way beyond easy templating, and a brief
examination of template-toolkit and openinteract (based on it) suggest to
me that it doesn't go far enough.
