Uhhhh, WOW. Are there pylons-dev patches coming with some of these changes? :)
I realize parts are the official docs, which I assume you have in there to try them out? But the sections where you expanded on the "XXX Fill in this here" bits are good, were those taken from the book as well? As I mentioned in my talks with James, the book itself is too large to maintain as the Pylons docs, but if there's sections that we can work with to make them short and sweet for the official docs, that'd be awesome, and I'm sure James would love to see all the hard work he's put in used beyond the Book.
How come you didn't suggest a logo?One of the reasons Phil and I passed on most of the logo suggestions was they were a bit too 'flashy'. Reconsidering an Egyptian based theme after we've followed the 'power' and 'electric' themes to all directions does give me more food for thought. The Egyptian hieroglyph you choose is simple and memorable without me having ever really seen it anywhere else.
The Egyptian Pylon in general also conveys a theme of something powerful yet elegant in its simplicity, which is exactly what Pylons itself aims to be. In comparison, the electric theme leads to things like coal power plants, generators, electrical lines (Which cause cancer/leukaemia), or lightning bolts... none of which has the same feel. ;)
I must say, I really like it.I noticed you got the babel module covered, that'd be great to include in the docs of course, also, Christopher Haas mentioned that the About section you have would merge nicely with his.
Cheers, Ben
