Also, what about the book? Would the community have to start from scratch on

I would like to see web2py becomes matured in a similar model as

manager, and a newbie-assistance manager, together with a platform

Wow, some heavy duty concerns in this thread...
I'm not fully versed in the detailed legalities of those things, but
I'll elaborate things as I understand them and perhaps I can be

Should we push the expert4solutions brand a bit more? Yes but, not too

eventually expert4solutions should care about creating a foundation

I think web2py (Massimo) is moving in the right direction making web2py more
modular (dal)
or using some ready solution (rocket or cherrypy server before)
doing so we can easily get experts for different modules
I think we're OK for now. While there is a small perceptual problem of
web2py being a single person's effort, I think at this stage it is
beneficial for Massimo to continue with his rapid and prudent improvements.
The best thing now is for more people to become web2py experts. There's a
lot of

Other contributors can write code reviews
This is incorrect. You should look at the "thanks" in the commit log.
I am not happy with Ranking contributors but
Jonathan L., Thadeus B., Mariano R., Alvaro J., Iceberg to name a few.
They know web2py as well as I do (and some parts better).

For what it's worth, here's my 2 cents:

I know this community and framework and I know that there are a lot of
people collaborating. I mentioned the "single-person" phrase beacause is
what I always read in the reviews about web2py vs others frameworks. It's
not what I think.
Now, I have
