Parlez

Since Andy Gross is naming his yet-to-be blog application I thought I’d join in and publish the name of the blog / cms project I’m working on… Parlez. I grabbed the name not seeing anything similar, at least not in Python-land, three years ago. Parlez seemed a natural fit for communication with an international theme – the app was originally designed from the ground up to support multiple languages.

An older version of the code is running a commercial site and for a goodly amount of time ran the web presence for a major political party. Embarassed by the old code, and frustrated by its many deficiencies, I have been rewriting it and will sooner than later make the code available. Its written in Python naturally, and relies on Quixote, Dulcinea and Durus, and a set of components I’ve factored out of the cms/blog application into its own support library I call Sous (under, in english) to keep the french language theme going.
