Hi, I have serious problems with web2pyslices (for some reason I never could upload anything...), so I can work in my free time on it (or in something like it), and I am pretty sure that I can push some guys to help, including things like design.

I promise I will do a thorough review of the book asap and will publish a 6th edition.

As far as the wiki goes we have web2pyslices but it needs to evolve.... Any volunteers?

    Hello everyone,

    I have a little question for you all. I started to learn web2py
    around a month ago and, even though I found in it a great
    potential and a nice code, I had some issues with the documentation.

    All the tutorials around are broken links, lacking of explanation
    and sometimes full of errors (for a tutorial I had to follow a
    second tutorial that explains how to get through the first).

    So alright, I went straight to the web2py official book.

    First thing I notice is that online you have 6th edition while the
    pdf is the 5th edition. That brought me to use code that Massimo
    later told me was not raccomended anymore.
    The book itself is, anyway, a bit confusing in many parts, like
    when it says "you could do like this, but this is better, oh and
    this is a even better way to do it!", or sometimes lacking in a
    thread, just saying what all the commands are. Or, some other
    times, just telling you "that's the code", and not explaining any
    futher.

    While looking for plugins, on the other hand many of them were out
    of date (like istantpress, simplrCMS), or abandoned, or totally
    lacking of documentation.

    All that said, I wonder: why doesn't this community have a wikia?
    Wouldn't that be a simple and easy to update way of keeping
    documentation and track of all that needs to be known to develop
    in web2py?

    Right now for a plugin or general information about web2py I need
    to follow several blogs, articles, this google group and the book.
    It's a bit confusing and while I keep informing, some others may
    find it a good reason to use Django instead, or other frameworks.

    Please don't take what I say as a way of discredit anyone who
    worked with this project.
    I sincerly like it and I thank every person who used his time to
    make it better.
    I just find that a more centralized documentation would be helpful
    for the beginners.


    All the best,
    Manuel
