This is the kind of thing for which Ruby on Rails was designed for. It
is, however, not covered by this group, so I can't recommend more than
read up some, and find an accomodating Ruby venue. I got only so far as

ever need to roll up entry pages in ten minutes." So I'm not even a good
resource either.
