Through significant projects with significant traffic or impact. The tool isn't the "news" rather doing something useful (then the methods to accomplish that task can be secondarily interesting). I think the next thing important is for web2py to move to google code / mercurial, and have reviews of changes as part of the process (_all_ changes, not just contributor's changes). When a community is able to develop, comment, extend, then the applications of this should broaden. > > This project is the best I know of and I know others would feel the > same if they were informed.

Web2py's biggest resistance / detractor / thing that gets in the way of any serious, broader interest is this kind of thinking: if you need to push the tool, then something is wrong. If there are big success stories, where groups of people are able to get things done together, that will be it's own (and interesting) push. If there aren't, then the bigger community question is and should be "why not?". web2py is useful for getting things up quickly. Perhaps we could have a "sprint" to comment the code with what it looks like it is doing. That would be a good start, and might show opportunities for refactoring. In any case, the process might help have create more teams who could work on more advanced projects. That might help what you would like to see accomplished.
