I can't shake the feeling that I spurred this move. I might be a newcomer to Web2Py, but I have already sunk some time into studying Web2Py such as finding broken links on the main page and benchmarking the bundled version of flup (which should not be used in a production environment because of GIL) compared to the official flup that has prefork. I have had made code contributions to other open- source projects, and I planned to for Web2Py but now it is looking more difficult.
