+      Nevow - Pronounced as the French "nouveau", or "noo-voh", Nevow
+      is a web application construction kit written in Python.  It is
+      designed to allow the programmer to express as much of the view
+      logic as desired in Python, and includes a pure Python XML
+      expression syntax named stan to facilitate this.  However it
+      also provides rich support for designer-edited templates, using
+      a very small XML attribute language to provide bi-directional
+      template manipulation capability.
+
+      Nevow also includes formless, a declarative syntax for
+      specifying the types of method parameters and exposing these
+      methods to the web.  Forms can be rendered automatically, and
+      form posts will be validated and input coerced, rendering error
+      pages if appropriate.  Once a form post has validated
+      successfully, the method will be called with the coerced values.
