Actually I did do some coding for the conversion, etc. :-) But I like it when doing something new to be able to look at how other people solved similar problems. And it is a bit early for Cactus in that respect, and Liquid feels much simpler than Django templates.

The extension and plugin mechanisms will make it easier for me to start adding my own code without having to modify the core framework. But it is always more fun to add these kind of things if there is a community to give you feedback.
