Open Stack

Stefano,

I like the simple layout.  It looks like joining a group and stuff isn't
done yet but that's fine.

Is there a reason that all of this stuff isn't done with Django since
OpenStack uses Python and Django so heavily?

Django-CMS would be an obvious candidate:
http://django-cms.readthedocs.org/en/2.4.3/

I'm sure there's alot of momentum with the Drupal stuff but it doesn't seem
like the optimum long term solution.

Cheers,
Adam
