Found something? Maybe this could help me to choose a web
framework.

You may not have notice, but applied to a piece of software, ready is 
usually understood as ready for production use. Which Django is, and 
has been for years now.

Yes, so Stefan used the wrong English word.  The rest of the thread
had already revealed it when you made your statement.

Tschö,

That's a bit unfair. Maybe the guy was stung by previous experiences
with books and certain other frameworks. It seems to me that the
Django people have been quite cautious with the APIs and with their
own book, but it isn't as if nothing has been changing with respect to
the APIs and the preferred ways of doing things in Django.

And I have to add that books which refer the reader to various Web
sites in order to find out the status of the code, qualifying the
prose with by the time you read this, don't give a great impression.
I can't say that the book referenced here does that, although short of
a 1.0 release, I find it unlikely that the author could avoid it.

That's a remarkably ignorant statement.


The 1.0 release will be in September.


So?  1.0 will be done then, yes.  In what way does that mean that 
Django itself isn't ready, in any sane sense of that word?


(For bystanders, Django's 0.91 release in early 1996 was what most
people would have called 1.0.  0.95 was a 2.0 release, and the
upcoming 1.0 release is pretty much a 3.0.  Or if you use Micro-
soft's numbering system, 0.91 was 3.0, 0.95 is 5.0 and 1.0 is,
what, 8.0?)

 So what?  It's not the version number that matters but features and
 stability.  It's not uncommon in open source projects to have very usable
 software with a version number below 1.0.

The book is about the development version, which was current at
the time the book was written. See page 4.


Nobody says something about Book after feature freeze (or
similar). Instead I get ignorant statement and usable
software.

My conclusion: This book isn't about a stable release and not
about a future stable release. (And even if it was about the last
stable relase, too much has changed and will change until
September 2008. IMHO.)


And by the way: The quote was changed by deleting something on
the same line:

June 2008 is a bit too early. Django isn't ready.

Is this a language issue?  That you meant to write django 1.0 isn't 
done (as in completed; finished) but accidentally wrote django isn't 
ready (where ready is usually read as completely prepared or in fit 
condition for immediate action or use)?

Before writing sarcastic comments, reading the thread would be
really polite.

As far as versioning is concerned, Django's policy is that 1.0
equals API is frozen.  And I consider publishing a book four
months before the API is polished bad timing, too.  Especially
because Django is exquisitely documented on its webpage, so there is
no urgent need for it.

I thought about buying a Django book, too.  I'm happy to have
delayed it, for the same reason Stefan mentioned.

Tschö,
Torsten.
