You could create a Trac plugin that adds MPWA data to Trac's UI, but in my opinion, MPWA itself should be a separate app. You can assume both the plugin and the web app have access to each other's database, or you can rely on RPC between the two.

So Django does seem to have the upper hand here. I think a second app
would be fine, but then I would want to replace the current set of PHP
scripts (that make up macports.org) and put that content in the Django
website as well.

As for the way Trac and Django will talk to each other, or if that is
even required, I will need to know what exactly the Django app is
supposed to do. Nevertheless, RPC will be the way to go.

More thoughts, folks?
