Source is great documentation by itself I agree. But when I started to go through source, I can see a couple of functions with no docstrings, there may be more like so. And for a total newbie to source, just be there to troubleshoot something it'll be hard. Because there's no docstrings he must g

I hate to say it but I think the biggest problem is the Book. Don't get me wrong, the Book is very well written and has excellent content. But it's too much like a book and too little like online documentation. I also think the Overview might benefit from being the creation of one simple app, l

This is great. Personally, I find this kind of thing very helpful. I like the idea of having this stuff in one central location, though it would also be helpful if the online book chapters (or even sections within chapters) could link to the relevant parts. Thanks. Anthony On Tuesday, Jan

I could also be persuaded that the cookbook should have a briefer section on source browsing--just pointers to where to look--and the more detailed roadmap should be a more dynamic online document. That way it'd be easier to keep the source roadmap up to date (and add new material), and the roa

Well done!. One doubt, doesn't this sound strange: "Rocket receives HTTP requests and passes them to Rocket"?. On Jan 18, 3:15 pm, Jonathan Lundell wrote: > I've been working a little on a proposal for some new cookbook sections, one > per chapter, that provide a roadmap to the web2py source
