I'll add another albeit more mundane site - I have used Quixote for
a half dozen non profit society projects, none of which I have tightened
down security enough to want to broadcast to the world; recently I used
Quixote to drive a small subscription business I have an interest in and
you can see it at http://www.trendvue.com/

The application is a Content Management application which presents
daily postings in a blog format. Since its a mix of free and fee for
service content, there is product and user/group based authentication
behind the scenes.

Originally I had used ZODB at the back end but due
to my inexperience with it, and my SQL-think - can't help it, I've been
doing SQL based applications for years, I ran out of steam and went back
to what I know better and now its driven by Postgres. Oh and its
multi-lingual (using gettext) and supports content in multiple languages
as well, even though this example does not yet take advantage of this.

Nothing terribly exciting, but I am very pleased with how nice every thing
fits together in Quixote. Having a paying project, however small, has been
useful for me as I go back and dramatically simplify code I initially wrote
with Quixote, now that my understanding of how to use the framework has
improved.

My thanks to all involved for producing and maintaining a fine tool.
