hi, the discussion never reached a conclusion for me... code just started being written. When the website rewrite process started in late January, cherrypy was suggested by pymike. http://groups.google.com/group/pygame-mirror-on-google-groups/browse_thread/thread/34a561e3ac7ebc26/1b36d71a37af7216 Also in the rewrite thread cherrypy was suggested by me and Nicholas. Other people have said they were happy with either. We also got a promise of support from the main author of cherrypy in case we have any nasty problems, and there was another offer of help from another person on the cherrypy mailing list to actually help writing the website. There are more than just two people interested in joining the website rewrite. I think there are more of the most active pygame contributors interested in contributing to a cherrypy based website. Since the other website rewrite has been started without concluding our discussion, I too am just going to go forward and write a new website for pygame.org. As one of the people who has been maintaining pygame for a long time, and who has also made some(small) changes to the current website code, and written many pages on the website - I hope other people join the cherrypy based effort. May the best website win! cu,
