I don't have any immediate plans as I've already committed most of the improvements I thought were most important. There's a community effort to improve the test coverage which we'll merge into the trunk sometime soon. The bug fixing was quite quick recently, I think, and I intend to keep it that way. Python 3 port will need to happen eventually, but I don't think I'll be pressing to make it happen ASAP. Hi Sergey, We've listed attempt to port WebOb to Python 3 as one of the tasks at the PyCon Pylons/Pyramid sprint (http://us.pycon.org/2011/sprints/projects/). I think basically this task translates to give WebOb 100% test coverage as a first step (we may not get around to actually doing the conversion, as writing the tests will take some time). Do you think you could merge the tests done by the community into the trunk before we do this so we don't repeat effort? - C Also, as Ian mentioned, I'll be blogging about WebOb at http://self.maluke.com/ -Sergey On 14 February 2011 23:06, Ian Bicking i...@colorstudy.com wrote: Oops, I forgot to mention that Sergey started a blog in part with the intention of posting on WebOb and related things: http://self.maluke.com/ On Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 3:01 PM, Ian Bicking i...@colorstudy.com wrote: Hi all.

[Repoze-dev] Passing on primary WebOb maintainership to Sergey Schetinin
Hi all.
