It's the case of many FOSS projects. > There are many big and well-known sites built with django and I think > mentioning these sites and providing testimonials from people working on > these sites can be better advertisement. > Yes and no. Advertising on big websites & applications powered by django would be a plus but it can be misleading. I think anybody could agree that this same applications could have been done in PHP or Flask with the same success (see Facebook ?). Engineers and people that take decisions in general want to know if it gets things done, but also how does it compare to other solutions. Comparing on features would be more engineer-minded that «How do you feel about Django». Engineering is not about feelings, it's a complex choice that weights pros & cons which can be technical but also social and commercial... In javascript world is common to compare frameworks based on speed, size, we could extend this to common problems regarding website building like cache management, authentication, authorization, L10N, I18N, db support, professional support, community support and the like... and even do code to code comparison if it makes sens. Taking the time to draw an «état de l'art» of things get done today even if, Django doesn't succeed in every aspect can only benefit Django project and the community. Regards, Amirouche PS: I will be happy to help to draw a comparison with Flask if we setup a list of what to compare :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
