Hi Cliff, > Gour, > > Do you mean something like Drupal? No, I mean Mezzanine (http://mezzanine.jupo.org/ & http://cartridge.jupo.org/) based on Django framework which was created and developed by a single guy. THe project is, according to Bitbucket created on 2010-06-08 and it has, according to github ~3k commits, 139 contributors, a337 stargazers, impressive set of features and decent list of sites built with it (http://mezzanine.jupo.org/sites/) I know about the argument that Django is older and/or more mature than web2py, but, according to the web2py site, the project had version 1.0 in 2007, and in comparison with Mezzanine, I believe it's old enough to get some decent CMS enabling people to choose it as preferred platform (instead of using WP, Joomla, Drupal...) for building *geneneral* web sites which can be easily customized/tailored according to the client's needs. Mezzanine also has fair number of 3rd party add-ons (https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine) filling the potential gaps of the core app. Sometimes within the Django community it was heard that there are no 'general' CMS solutions 'cause it is too easy to build one from the scratch. Fortunately, such concept is not prevailing any longer and there are several apps available: https://www.djangopackages.com/grids/g/cms/ If there is no value in abstracting some common features and make it 'general' CMS, then one can reason that there is no value to abstract some tasks and make them into full-featured framework. Shortly, my point is that at the moment web2py is filling specific niche of being mostly used in intranet and/or smaller apps, but by having general CMS/ecommerce app ala Mezzanine/Cartridge, the usage of the framework could exponentially increase considering other 'pros' of the framework.
