Just a thought: (Please don't shoot me for mentioning this; I say it with Web2Py's best interest in mind)
In general I have been very much in favour of Massimo's philosophy of maintaining backward compatibility. However, part of me wonders whether this is an indefinitely sustainable idea. I am concerned that, in the long run, it will cause the project to stagnate. Would it not perhaps be a better idea to follow the example of Ubuntu (and others). They regularly release new versions for all who wish to remain current; but every now and then they release 'special' versions which are supported for a reasonably long period of time. In general technology (and ideas) develop so fast that very few systems would require really long term compatibility to be maintained and the benefit of evolution may just outweigh the benefits of not evolving at all. Please note that I am by no means advocating a radical re-design of Web2Py with every release though. Like I said; just a thought. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
