Having a nearly-ready made CMS on top of Pylons would be the most amazing thing likeever ;) I have struggled too much with the shortcomings of PHP based CM systems over the years (and I'm doing so right now, once more, with growing pains). That much said, I would love to contribute something

A Plone clone for Pyramid?

2010-11-05 Thread Mike Orr
I've started wondering about porting a subset of Plone to Pyramid. Pylons has long lacked a full-featured CMS package. While Plone can be mounted as a sub-URL or vice-versa, it's still really big and different and harder to extend. As a programmer I'd be interested in making custom Plone products f

Hi all, Thanks to especially Graham and Mike to point out what the benefit for the "end-user-developer" (a crude term, I know ;) ) will be with the Pylons2/Pyramid move. When I started to read these posts, I was a bit concerned, too. I (we, my company) have been long time Pylons users, and admitt

As some may have noticed in the tweetsphere (or whatever the catchy term is for that), a Pylons + repoze.bfg framework merger is under way. Some will be shocked, sad, excited, etc. at this move. We wanted to have a good amount of 'support' under the new combined effort which was the main reason

Yeah, the main issue is that I think the new structure at a high level can be a little confusing, since the Pylons name is changing from a framework to a project. The distinction between Pylons 1.0 and Pylons project makes it difficult to relay the Pylons name and the fact that Pyramid is a standal
