Jag och en av mina bröder håller på med en community för Merca-ägare. Första versionen kördes på Google App Engine och Vosao CMS, men det var för långsamt och för mkt tekniskt krångel. Nu har jag flyttat allt till Amazon EC2 istället och Wordpress - mkt bättre på alla sätt!
Det kommer att vara gratis i ett år iaf på EC2, jmf med GAE där det är gratis tills vidare.
Trots mitt slit med att försöka köra allt på en Java-plattform så måste jag tyvärr erkänna att vad gäller CMS inom OSS så regerar php... suck...
Visst, jag borde skriva ett eget CMS i Java (igen) men min tid räcker inte till... Jag skrev iaf några plugins till Vosao som jag tycker är utmärkt för enklare och mer statiska webbplatser.

Google appengine - thoughts
After creating a few sites on GAE using the excellent free tool Vosao CMS, I feel it suffers from some serious shortcomings:
hard to do backup/import/export
not part of the java tool
cumbersome config
no delete
hard to manage data
no easy way to query, mass-update or mass-delete data
every little thing requires deep-diving into GAE-specific details
this will not extend my knowledge on a general, provider-independant level
Recommendations for GAE
I think Google did a pretty good job abstracting Java, but the datastore is not really working for me. Way too much hassle.
My conclusion is that I will use GAE for simple websites with no special requirements on functionality.
For everything else I will probably use Amazon EC2 or similar in the future.

Vosao plugins and Purpur
I have created a few plugins for Vosao CMS (runs on GAE). I wanted the make them publicly available but I really had no proper place to put them, so I put together a company site. My plugins now have a home here
I have had the domain for years. I have had the design for years. I just never had any good reason for actually doing it - until now. Check it out.
