Thanks Simon, mostly people work on what interest them and usually patches are accepted if: the syntax is general and not constraining, add functionality of makes the code smaller, does not slow down existing code and does not break backward compatibility.
I will open the book for editing this week but I still have lots of control over that. The book has been opened in the past and people have contributed with bug fixes and small edits but no major additions. You are free to create your own tutorials and that will help new uses. Personally I could use help in three areas: - add more tests - find and repost bugs - talk online about web2py (the more people talk about it, the better for everybody). It would also be nice to have a repository of exercises for those of us who use web2py for teaching. massimo On Monday, 26 March 2012 11:30:00 UTC-5, Simon Bushell wrote: > > Hi all, > > So I am a Web2Py convert, and am now using it for pretty much all of my > Pythonic WebDev projects. > > As well as being an excellent framework, I am equally impressed with the > passion and friendliness of the Web2Py community and I was wondering what I > can I do to help contribute to it. > > *Lurking around this group to help people out?* Easily done > > *Helping better improve user documentation?* There seems to be a general > mood that it could be improved (though I personally haven't run into to > many issues) > > *Submitting bug fixes/plugins/apps?* My coding skills are largely > self-taught, but I think I am competent enough to contribute if needed. > > Basically - where does the community need help the most and what can I do > to assist? > > cheers > > Simon > > >
