I would be interested in doing some help in this area, but it's sort of contingent on how the whole cooperating with repoze/pypes stuff happens. If I can feel confident that working with Pylons and repoze is going to be a solid path forward for our company, I'm willing to pitch in there, but not so much if I'm not sure about the future. Sooo, it would be good for these sorts of things if more work was put into the public face of the future road map. On the last thread my last questions just never got answered.... :/ Iain --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
