I love the fact that if I have a problem with web2py and asked a question, Massimo will likely answer it. But the perceptual problem of web2py is a single-person effort is real. Massimo fixes most of the bugs (it seems so). Massimo is mainly responsible for PR. Massimo is in charge of experts4solution (it appears so). Massimo is mainly in charge of documentation (the book) (it appears so).
Note that these are not necessary bad things. But the concern is real. Now, you can say this issue should not be a concern (i.e. we are okay with the current setup). Then that's a different perspective, a different story. Rapid improvement is great. But the issue is not related to rapid development. Note that I'm playing the role of a devil advocate. I'm not criticizing. The current set up is perfect for me. > I think we're OK for now.
