Dear friends,
TT is not only good for commercial sites, but even for small humble
sites that are maintained by one volunteer with little time. I figured
that using TT is much more efficient than keeping a bunch of pages
consistent by tweaking them by hand. So far, I have produced three
different sites, two of which are still alive (you will notice
similarities in the structure):
http://www.averroes-foundation.org/
http://people.seas.harvard.edu/~oliver/
The menu is created from simple a XML sitemap database read through
XML-DOM. Each page template has an ID that is also contained in the
sitemap database.
Take care
Oliver

> We and most of our customers all use TT. (Most of them involve ecommerce.) We switched from another templating system and never looked back. +1 to TT from me. (While not official, I believe it's +1 from the rest of the crew here as well.) All of our new pages are being written in TT without worry or regret. The list is fairly responsive to issues as well and the code is very easily readable/hackable when necessary. I got up to speed in a very short period of time. You just can't argue with that.
