Well I'm very tempted to start mucking in and letting it call an
'external' python method of some sort.  At the very least, I'd like
the page to be able to look up a list of 'words' and redirect to a
webpage if it matches....

Like:
http://site.org/fish

It finds the keyword fish, and sees there is a legit URL:
http://site.org/software/beta/fish

And redirects it.

But that'd need t ZCatalog at least.

Grrrr.....

Ciao!
