I agree the docs fragmentation is a serious problem. Perhaps Drupal could be used until a robust web2py based CMS is available. It would be great if content from the official manual could also be included in the public docs. Richard On Jan 16, 8:47 pm, Anand Vaidya anandvaidya...@gmail.com

I participated in the review process. The process is fair and the people are smart but the rules are the problem. Say for example 51% of reviewers are pro A (against B) and 49% are pro B (against A). If everybody votes on each of 100 items where each item can be associated to A or B uniquely, all

I don't understand it, but for some reason django users really dislike web2py, and attack it almost like we're the Christians of the python world. -Thadeus On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 8:35 AM, mdipierro mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu wrote: I participated in the review process. The process is fair and

LOL. I do understand them. They have invested time and money in Django and think web2py is stealing users from them. Instead I think the future of Django and web2py is very much correlated because, although in competition, they have lots of similarities and their fate is very much tied to

Still, I notice that the registration form is still web2py. I am disappointed in the diversity of topics in relation to Web Frameworks. One would think there is only Django. I look at these conferences as an opportunity to see many different approaches to the same issues, and thus get fresh

I agree. For example they offer basically 3 tutorials on Django (intro, advanced, pinax) and one on Repoze (has anybody tried it?) but rejected tutorial proposals for both web2py and TG. I find it odd because I think they should try to offer broader coverage in order to attract more people.

Exactly. I have not planned to attend PyCon because it has limited coverage of topics and none of the topics covered hit my hot button. When you expand the diversity of coverage, you hit more hot buttons in more people and attendance goes up. They might as well re-label this DjangoCon. On Fri,
