-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So far... I really do enjoy using webware and python to create my web applications.
One of the things I love about webware... is that it allows me to design my applications in much the same way I would using Apache Turbine... But with webware things are a LOT simpler. Unfortunately Webware has this really unfinished feeling to it. Not that this is a bad thing, by all means. And normally I LOVE looking for projects that have this kind of feeling to them... so I could jump in and help in any way I can. But it seems lately I just have less and less time to actually get really involved with projects like this =/ Especially considering I already have my hands tied up with a couple other side projects =) (I recently became one of the developers for LWJGL for example) Not to mention the fact that I have been trying to use webware in another side project of mine. (which is where my recent fixes to webware came from.) Unfortunately Webware, WebKit specifically, seems broken or lacking functionality in a few places where I really need it to work. So considering this, I am really not sure what to do. So looking at my options... I see a couple possibilities. 1) Work with Stuart in fixing the path issues we have been running into. 2) Move my project over to Turbine 3) Move to a different style of web programming/language Of course I like Option 1. But my main concern is time. I don't know how much time I would have to dedicate to this type of thing. Especially when it seems like most of my free time lately is just during the weekends. Option 2 is very plausable... My main problem with it though is that Turbine is a bit ah.... overly complex... I like a lot of the ideas and methods they allow for designing a web application, unfortunatly... there is a LOT of work that has to be done just to get a simple site going. Option 3.... I don't like at all really. Over the last 3 years I have of professional web development I have grown quite tired of some of the traditional ways of writing web software. This is one of the reasons why I like the Model 2+1 methodology provided by turbine so much. Especially when using the pull model, instead of the push model. Not to mention the fact I would prefer staying within one of my favorite languages, python and java. Now of course, I mention all of this so I could hear your opinion. What do you guys think? I think Option 1 is workable... but it will require some time before my application is really working. For the most part... The things I would like to see addressed are: 1) The ability for PSP pages to extend other PSP pages. (Not a bug of course... But it would really help in separating design and logic) 2) The weird path issues resolved. Of course, I have looked into Cheetah for handling issue number 1. But ah... the lack of dynamic recompilation is a bit of an issue for me. Maybe I am just too lazy... but I always end up forgetting to recompile things. So when I make a couple small changes to a page and try to view them... I end up wondering why the changes did not take effect. =) - -- Luke Holden eBI Solutions Main: (949) 387-5182 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+IiRc3q5xXfLZTQkRAm33AJ49Wa9ZJoRRHDLb28+n/fwSvFtA1QCeLHmi +lkDBKle9TO/BeoHJsBZZDg= =x7F+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
