I totally disagree - Dabo is NOT a moving target. I have code that is now near 3 years old and it still runs without changes using todays commit. I will concede that a few changes may have broken someone's older code but that does not happen often. Ed, Paul and others try their best to insure that does not happen. That said, Dabo reserves the right to do so - if it makes sense to do so. I'm guessing that you have been watching the commits and are under the impression that those commits break legacy code. 98% of the commits either improve performance or add a new enhancement. If the 2% of the commits do break legacy code that commit is fixed. Yes it true Dabo lacks documentation. No Dabo does not have an "out-dated" book either. But if you review the recent changes to the doc's I think you will find they have improved. But that's not really what most developers really want - is it. They want extended tutorials, how to's and a better understanding the basic's of the framework. Just like Django I doubt we will ever get there. But I'm sure the Dabo community will offer more in the future.
