OK, then, more substantial:   I personally lack confidence in any tool that 
uses an in-memory object database to store persistent data.   I also feel 
pessimistic about our ability to extend and integrate a tool which uses 
radically different storage mechanism than the other tools we're using.  
Finally, for any of these things I forsee asking the communites involved with 
those projects for help, and it seems foolish to beg for help (as would 
probably be required of a project that does nor support PG) when there are 
people offering to help us.

THIS JUST IN:  as if we didn't have enough options, Talli of the OpenACS 
community has offered their help with using OpenACS modules for any of the 
web tasks we've discussed.   More later.
