If rails can work for me I don't quite know how to do it.  Let me explain.

I am about to start a project which will involve creating several web
sites.  These will be completely different web sites but for the same
company and using the same database.

I can already forsee that I want to share many (but not all) of the
models between the web sites as well as sharing some of the
controllers.

I am not sure how the views situation will work itself out yet but to
start with I would like to set a "master" template that every web site
uses and override individual sections and content using partials.


Ideally it would be a kind of a hierarchy where I had a /websites
directory with each rails app living underneath it. If I called for a
model it would look in /websites/myapp/app/models and then look up
/websites/shared/models if it could not find it.  Same with
controllers, views etc.

It would also be nice to use same mongrel pool for all the web sites.


I  hate to say it but something sort-of-kind-of-but-not-really-zope.
