Moodle is a course management system (CMS) - a free, Open Source software

Planet is a flexible feed aggregator, this means that it downloads feeds
and aggregates their content together into a single combined feed with
the latest news first.
It uses Mark Pilgrim's Ultra-liberal feed parser so can read from RDF, RSS
and Atom feeds and Tomas Styblo's template library to output static files
in unlimited formats based on a series of templates.
Planet was written for the Planet Debian and Planet GNOME websites by
Scott James Remnant <scott@netsplit.com> and
Jeff Waugh <jdub@perkypants.org>. It was originally based on 'spycyroll'.
Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development
and clean, pragmatic design.

Web developers. It has convenient niceties for developing content-management
systems, but it's an excellent tool for building any Web site.

images, and Atom/RSS feeds which you can then upload to any old web
server you like. No CGI or scripting environment is needed on the
server.
CherryPy is a pythonic, object-oriented web development framework.
CherryPy allows developers to build web applications in much the same
way they would build any other object-oriented Python program.

CherryPy is now more than three years old and it is has proven very
fast and stable. It is being used in production by many sites, from
the simplest ones to the most demanding ones.
This port allows you to use Linux plugins such as Adobe Flash and Acrobat
Reader in the native version of Opera for FreeBSD.
