Hello,

I have some newbieish questions in regards to quixote. Please pardon my
ignorance if these are obvious.

-Is there a search engine for the mailing list archives? I would rather
search the archives before posting a question that has been answered
already.

I read up on a bunch of articles about quixote and really like the idea
of urls being objects and that the end user should be able to navigate
the url without problems. This is what got me very interested in quixote.

However I have some concerns.

-Must all of my application files be in the cgi-bin? Is this the norm?
Perhaps someone can post an example of a dir structure?
The demo.cgi app has everything in 1 place.

I'm used to other web development languages where we create our directory
structure in the webroot.

-If we used mod_python then where would be store our files for our
application? Anywhere we like?

-If I use mod_python instead of cgi, can I still do the demo tutorial? I
don't have medusa only apache.
I can't get the demo.cgi working now since I don't have medusa. I'm
working on trying to figure this out with apache, so far nil.

-Is there any way possible to work with existing html pages with quixote?

The problem is, that we have full time designers here and my job is to do
all the coding for the sites. The designers do all their graphics in
photoshop and then lay it out in dreamweaver.

Once they are done with the file, I get the .html file and start chopping
it up making a header, body, left_nav, and footer area. I usually include
these snippets where i need them.

-Do you think the best practice is to just recode the html from the
snippets into a PTL?

My main area of concern is where to put my application files and how to
interact with designers when using quixote.

What really has me interested in quixote is that I can just write python
code without jumping through hoops and the way urls work. I've tried zope
and it was just too much overhead for our needs.

Thanks!

Bobby
