I think these 2 are not good choices because a good framework must be fast and simple. You achieved that already. I'd choose to improve free documentation. I really find myself confused with web2py's documentation. I think the free available resources must be improved and we won't see many developers until it gets stronger. > > Finally, this community has to do a better job at outreach.

I just started it the day before yesterday, in Brazilian Portuguese: http://aprenda-web2py.blogspot.com In 2 days it has about 300 views with virtually no sharing. We have a strong Django community, but we don't have statistics about how many are really *working* with it. I talked to Alvaro Justen about it and we'll write some posts from the web2py user's point of view. It won't be a manual, absolutelly! It'll be a blog with practical web2py development emphasis. Maybe a lot of howtos and many principles explained. I started this blog with 2 posts "selling" some nice features about web2py. The first one, I got from web2py's homepage. The other one talks about the "backwards compatibility" thread I started this week, but translated. As I said before, I think this is some of the most important web2py's characteristics. I can see many advantages in web2py and I will write about them in a series of posts, emphasizing the time-to-market web2py allows us to have. -- Vinicius Assef. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
