buttercup: a flower for k0s.org
===============================

buttercup is a `flower <TODO>`_ that is used to bloom a website like
`k0s.org <http://k0s.org>`_.  There are several `python <http://python.org>`_
components to a buttercup website:

 * `decoupage <http://k0s.org/portfolio/software.html#decoupage>`_: for static files and indices
   - `montage <http://k0s.org/portfolio/software.html#montage>`_for image galleries
   - contenttransformer for static file presentation
 * `bitsyblog <http://k0s.org/portfolio/software.html#bitsblog`_ for blogging
 * a set of mercurial repositories
 * software demos:
   - anagram
   - wordstream

why is buttercup so messy?
--------------------------

Easy.  Its the backport of a highly specific website to a flower.  The
buttercup flower is in fact a study in botany, useful in the study of
species, but probably less interesting as a practical deployment.


does buttercup work yet?
------------------------

No.  It is still a work in progress.
