-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
I'm looking for which will be the app that I will do to learn web2py. I like of web2py the self-contained minimalistic nature of it, and I imagine a web made of web2py p2p sites that share content, but give the people the ability to create apps and connect them in different ways using this self-contained minimalistic framework. Today I have seen Appleseed[1], Couchit[2], Analogue[3] and Scratchpad[4] and I like the potential distributed p2p nature of them (the last 3 using the distributed NoSQL database CouchDB). In the view of small web2py apps connected, for example some create a url shorter, some other an image gallery app, a wiki, a blog engine, and so on, and you can install them on single or several web2py servers and they talk each other transparently. Even, you can mount your own server and import your interactions in these other sites and/or extend them with your own developments. I don't know if I'm making myself clear, but I think that in the context of a new kind of social network, this kind of innovative appliances and visions are important and I think that the self contained nature of web2py can be the key of this new kind of network if we can provide easy way of making transparent p2p of web2py apps talk each other, even if they are not online all the time or in the same server, almost as easy as is to learn/use web2py.
