Dear Richard and Niphlod, Thanks for your responses. Richard, your understanding is the indeed meaning of what i was trying to express.
Regarding my suggestions for improving web2py support for web-devs, i have 2 suggestions i can think of right now: - When writing a Plugin or a Wizard or some add-on for web2py ask yourself the question, "Is my intended user a Web Developer or Admin?". - Possibly set up a tag to categorize existing add-ons one way or the other (or both?). I will try to think of more suggestions as they come to me. Thanks again. Love and peace, Joe On Thursday, January 29, 2015 at 1:07:30 PM UTC-8, Richard wrote: > > I am not sure where it is going...
