Ok, I am one of those, and started this thread from a superficial position of someone switching over to Python/TG from another platfrom and following just the "Build app in minutes" claim. So I do not have the knowledge and experience and not the time to achieve them to be able to contribute, and there will be more people with a similar situation out there. In return I'd advise the TG team to focus on the ressources they have and rather cut down the ambitions a bit (or two). Regarding the 2.1 issues, the bottleneck might not be to add some explanations here and polish the layout there. The problem that occured with deployment looks more like an unclear responsibility, so maybe a _decision_ has to be made what's important and what not, in order to simplify not only the docs but parts of the framework. And for a decision there has to be someone in charge. Talking about popularity, there is no "community" tab on the TG homepage, and there seem to be no forums or blogs about it, or none the TG team cares about. There's only "About.. Documentation Install Development News" - so the message is somehow "Take it and don't bother us with your questions". > We are a real community project and have no company backing. Maybe the TG team does not want that? Or where's an invitation like "Tell us your success story with TurboGears here (form-link)" or "Become an official sponsor, contact [email protected] for details"? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
