Yeah the field is very broad. There is no such thing as a common understanding 
of what a web instance may involve. It may be anything between a few static 
html pages on top of the GNUmed middleware to some combination of AJAX client 
side stuff working the database through some server framework by completely 
bypassing the GNUmed middleware.


I guess for an in praxis setting (50 clients max) I was looking for this
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

optional client side framework for dynamic content
(pyjamas or js framework)
 |
webbrowser (displaying html)
 |
webserver (e.g. cherrypy)
 |
gmPG2
 |
psycopg2
 |
PG


I guess what I don't have in mind is
----------------------------------------------

optional client side framework
 |  
webbrowser
 |
django orm
 |
PG

----------------------------------------------------
It took a while to understand the whole web thing and I am still not totally 
clear on some concepts. They evolve so fast and lack standardisation in some 
areas (such as client side widgets across frameworks)
