As you know this sounds good to me. Let me add that i think that it would be nice to reach outside the Python Web Frameworks development worlds - not so much thinking about Ruby on Rails but about Seaside (http://seaside.st) and possibly other approaches that leverage language features not existing in Python. Inviting people from those communities (or having a "PyPy possibilities workshop" within the web track for that matter) may help to divert some "island" or competition thinking within Python webframework land :) cheers, holger _______________________________________________ EuroPython mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
