[Max Polk <maxpolk@xxxxxxxxx>]

This month, the progress I've made evaluating what's in and what's out
comes down to these choices for now:

DB servers:

* MongoDB: main choice for a Winterize server (note: namespace including
database and collection name must be shorter than 123 bytes)

* Filesystem: files and subdirectories are the server, for a kind of
barebones personal on-the-fly instance, or maybe sharing a directory.

Server side:

* Bottle: Web server, maps resources to code (was Django) -- core backend

* Python Pyro: interprocess communication between long-running processes

* Requests: Vastly simplifies urllib2
