    1111replace ``launch platform'' with framework and ``satellites'' with 
    1212``applications'', but that would be too many buzzwords.

    2626Another interesting feature of BKNR is its web framework, built on top 
    27 of the Portable Allegroserve webserver. The web framework has a simple

    2828object-oriented handler hierarchy, with sessions, authorization and 
    2929all the features you are used to from other frameworks. It also 
    3030gathers usage information, stores it in the datastore, generates 
    3131statistics, maps sessions to persistent users. Furthermore, a very
