I’m pretty interested in this, wish Ron had made his progress public.

For a packaging-friendly framework for CGI scripts, look into CGI::Application. You put the majority of the code into a module which subclasses CGI::Application. The CGI script itself is just a small stub which uses the module and sets configuration parameters etc. This makes it easy to have multiple configurations in different places without duplicating code everywhere. It also has hooks for HTML::Template for seperating out presentation. Both these packages are available in Debian though C::A is a bit out of date. (I’ll probably do an NMU tonight.)

Please don’t ignore the email gateway aspect of such systems. As much as web front-ends are great for average Joe/Jane, they’re a pain for hacker Bob. The Debian BTS was a beautiful piece of software because its primary medium of control was email. The web site suffered for a while because it was seen as a bit of an afterthought, but I would urge you not to think of the email aspect as an afterthought for freevite.

I’ve been using DaVite [http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/DaVite/] to do something similar. Its not quite ‘Free’, however.
