Hi Massimo: Looking at http://web2py.com/poweredby it seems that there are both examples and derivative projects listed.
A derivative project imho is a site that is based on web2py as its core and probably FOSS or installable. I would expect a listing to contain projects like * Muvuca * Instant Press * web2conf Other intranet or closed sourced projects should be listed in a separate listing, maybe as 'case studies'. Maybe an example to make it even clearer what a derivative project is: Symfony 2 is being used by eZ Publish and drupal - http://symfony.com/blog/symfony2-meets-drupal-8 - http://symfony.com/blog/symfony2-meets-ez-publish-5 And Ubuntu has derivatives like Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu etc Giving such web2py derivative projects visibility could increase awareness and therefore increase contribution (I hope!)
