This isn't entirely fair. TAPs may be completely irrelevant to you, if you're only developing with Twisted.web, but documentation about them and all the other features of Twisted doesn't mean Twisted's documentation "isn't very good" - it just means Twisted does more than you care about. I think this is all put in perspective if you see that Twisted is a network framework first, and a web/app server second. Webware, from what I understand, focuses much more on being a web/app server, so of course it doesn't have documentation about client/server persistence (TAPs), remote method invocation (spread), client/server protocol implementations, and all the other features it doesn't provide. I mean no slight to Webware, only to point out that Twisted and Webware aren't aimed at the same target. Disparaging Twisted's documentation because it covers *more* than you're interested in just doesn't make a lot of sense. Jp -- A sad spectacle.
