    Interesting thread indeed. And pretty wide-ranging too. But going back to the original post, allow me to plug an open-source application I recently discovered: http://fas.sfu.ca/dataface.
    We are planning a website based on a national directory of Christian communities and we need a means for a non-expert to be able to easily and safely add/edit records in the the database. Early days yet, but Dataface seems so far to be perfect for the job.
    Check it out - just don’t be put off by the Plone skin!

    Cheers!

      All I can say sofar is that I’ve got most features working sort of.. but it’l take a little while before I can post it here. The code is still rather messy and there one or two pitfalls to address. You can add a configuration for a table but you can’t edit the configiguration for instance. I’ve used prototype and rico for implementing ajax stuff. In the end I’m not happy with that and will probably skip the rico layer (too much overhead). That’ll take some time too. Will post a version here when I’m getting close though.
