CGI interface

The CGI interface was the first interface written for GROUP.lounge. It communicates with the user via a HTML interface.

Internally it uses the GROUP.lounge engine to communicate with the system.

The actual output of this module is defined by HTML templates which define the look and functionality of the actual HTML pages. With this system it's easy to change the look and feel even if you don't know how to program in python.

One issue is still localization as you have to duplicate every page right now in order to make a non-english version out of it. This will be resolved in a future version of this interface where language dependant strings will be stored in a database and also a sort of skinnable interface will be implemented.
