BLADE is currently looking for programmers or writers to contribute in the 
following ways:
	PHP4 bindings
	Development of a messageboard
	Development of a Zope-like management system
	Documentation for all the directly supported languages in BLADE (C/C++,
		Python, Perl)
	Bindings for any other language.
	Any CGI that is cool

Short Description:
	BLADE is a Web-based environment similar in nature to Zope, Mason, and 
Midgard.  What distinguishes BLADE is its underlying technology, CORBA, which 
permits BLADE to function with and support any programming language.  Further, 
BLADE supports object embedding from any language into any Web page, and as
such is the first environment to allow the embedding and communication of
Perl,Python, and C objects within the same page. 

Reasons to use BLADE:
	LGPL/GPL
	User Management
	Session Management
	Theme support
	Language independent
	Easily extendable html parser
	Library functions to make writing CGI's much easier
	Core is entirely written in C for fast execution times
