Hi Sebastian - Even more on your nice comment is - people who know django and maintianing django parts of pycon web site were there, making their _own_ changes and asking how to do stuff in web2py (and a few of us have access to the django parts).
A couple of things: the collaboration between people who know one or the other - we are sharing and talking, and thru the process getting comments and broader reactions and inputs which too seems "organic" - that is, natural way towards growth. The registration was a "pain" last year, and people were happy to load that off on someone else to deal with the headaches, and the good news is that web2py has been working smoothly these first days (and we have been monitoring like hawks!). The other good news is pycon.org -- the site - is jointly run: parts by web2py, parts by django, and this is a good model - the community can work in concert (does not need to be "either / or"). I am looking forward to hearing the panel discussion with Guido on ORMs, particularly as it was Guido who suggested web2py be included. We have some good solid functionality, and I am sure this number of users will help us realize ways to improve aspects that only a large user base can begin to point out. We're all very excited (and tired!). Watching Massimo respond to requests for change in literally seconds was amazing (I would ask for people to post request into a system so we could track, and no sooner than my mail would go out, Massimo would often announce "Done!" - scary stuff .... this guy is great to work with! :-) Hope some of us get a chance to get acquainted at PyCon!
