Hello,

Beside the “too clever by half” Rails, is there some more  
straightforward Web library that anyone would recommend?

Perhaps something along the lines of Web.py or such?

[http://webpy.org/](http://webpy.org/)

TIA!

Cheers

It’s a different sort of clever.

I am writing a Wiki and web application framework called Pandora  
([http://pandora.rubyveil.com/](http://pandora.rubyveil.com/)) which should be easy to set up and use  
since it does not require any database server. I haven’t released any  
source code yet, but I will as soon as it gets to a better shape. As  
of now, it is a fully functional Wiki system, although still missing a  
few critical features, primarily in the viewing and restoring of page  
revisions.
