Web2py does seem pretty attractive in that it seems to come with a lot 
of functionality rolled in already.  It seems to be pretty easy to 
deploy... since this would be more of a case where the volunteer match 
directors are not necessarily computer gurus, and something that can 
literally run from a USB stick on nearly any computer has its benefits. 
  I've seen some examples (I think) of twitter-bootstrap in some other 
demos of flask, and it looked reasonably attractive without being too 
over the top.  web2py's DAL seems fairly straight-forward too.  Looks 
like I may have to get more fluent in CSS & javascript, though...
