About

Dolmen is an application development framework based on  Grok and Zope3 (a highly modular, flexible, versatile, resilient and secure web application server written in Python) which also provides a CMS (Content Management System) out of the box. Dolmen is being made with four main objectives in mind: easily pluggable, rock solid and fast content type development, readability and speed. Developers like it a lot for the fact that application development as well as configuration, both is done with Python i.e. there is no additional configuration and/or template language to bother with.

Another quite tempting fact is that Dolmen allows developers nicely to adhere to techniques and best practices known as agile software development. The main pillar throughout the development history is the fact that Dolmen should be extremely pluggable -- we only use the mandatory bits and pieces needed for some application and do not carry around tons of unnecessary weight that is actually not needed. Last but not least, Dolmen is fully eggified and uses Zope3's component architecture which makes it incredibly easy, flexible and versatile to work with -- there is no application that cannot be build with Dolmen, they say ... In the end it is Python all over the place!
