my initial impression is leaning this way as well, my concern with a central repo that everyone publishes towards is that you get a lot of lemons, and the system doesn't provide any way to newcomers to distinguish between the first-class, recommended approaches versus half-baked ideas that will get people into trouble. You'd then say, OK well someone needs to curate the collection of things - easier said than done. There's a lot of old recipes on the SQLAlchemy wiki I'd love to blow away, but , well one of my users went through all the trouble to write it and I don't want to upset him, and well OK maybe it's somewhat useful if not out of date, so it just stays up there, as a sort-of-not-quite-useful thing. Plus you need someone curating all these things in the first place. The repo starts looking like a stale graveyard for discarded ideas. For a project that is desperate to provide a consistent, simple story for newcomers (something I think Pyramid and SQLAlchemy share), these open ended repositories just add to the confusion, pushing up a large list of highly varied approaches into a flattened presentation. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "pylons-discuss" group. > To post to this group, send email to pylons-discuss@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > pylons-discuss+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/pylons-discuss?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
