Crazy Idea

A Mason wiki where you can edit the source to components live. I guess you'd need authentication because Perl code in Mason components could trash the hosting system. And then you're basically up to Bricolage :-)

I just had a fantasy of a user-evolvable website that didn't look like WikiWikiAss[tm].

OpenInteract

OpenInteract is mostly that: a Template Toolkit web application system where the templates can be edited from within the system.

You'd just need to null-out any of the "dangerous" plugins. The TT language should be safely self-contained.

Everything

Aside from not being Mason or TT, that's what Everything does. (You know, the code that runs Perl Monks.)

Mason-CM

It exists. It has been around since '98 or '99, and is called Mason-CM. It even uses RCS for managing versions of your components.

Isn't that the whole point behind Zope?

That's so Twentieth Century Python. All the cool kids are using Twisted now!
