[google-appengine] Cron / Batch Processes

2009-01-04 Thread jones34
Like a lot of other people, I would need GAE to support timer initiated processing. There is a bug/issue open - number 6 I believe, that is the most "starred" issue on the list aside from adding support for other languages. If this is the top issue for the community aside from people wanting thei

I appreciate the pointer, but I've read the documentation and it, frankly, sucks. It's really dismaying that a company with the resources of Google is doing such a piss-poor job at delivering this toolkit. First of all, this simple thing should be trivial to solve - one line of code. The point
