Yes we are working on this. But mind Sphix will mostly be a replacent to epydoc which is already there. This means better presentation but not necessarily different content. Lots of examples are already in epydoc and we will add more. The old book covers almost everything but Crud, Auth, Services. These will be described in more details in the new book. Those chapters are already posted on the list. > - Building out the resources for prospective web2py developers should > take precedence over anything like CMS or eStore (though I personally > would benefit from both of those).

I would love this but I do not have the resources to run it and maintain it. If anybody wants to help and create a site like that I will be happy to link it. Not everything needs to be centralized. The more decentralized the better. > I think the idea of cleaning up the appliance app is a good idea and > inline with the above. Once more. I ONLY focus on web2py code libraries. I post my proof of concepts apps on appliances. I also post appliances that people send it. I really really encourage people to adopt some of those apps and become mantaners. In an ideal world appliances would link applications stores somewhere else. Lots of people ask me to put more stuff on my site. I ask you the opposite: help me take stuff off of it. Take charge of a part of it. I will like your site. > I am still trying to make myself fluent with web2py and even though it > is a lot simpler to pick up than Django, for example, I felt a lot > more secure in the Djangoverse because of the kick-ass documentation > and community support.
