Neither AuthKit nor repoze.who are intrinsically part of Pylons, so you want to direct your question to James Gardner, the AuthKit maintainer, whom I'm cc'ing. Chris McDonough maintains repoze.who, and he primarily uses another framework so he may not be on this list. The best way to suggest changes to repoze.who is via the development links on http://static.repoze.org/whodocs/ . I maintain WebHelpers but I'll defer to Ben about any new decorator-helper combo. (By the way, there will be a WebHelpers release in a week or so if something is ready by then.) Each maintainer has his own criteria for what gets accepted into the package. But what I'm mainly looking for is a developer consensus on the following: - Does this approach make sense security-wise? Others understand this more than I do so I'm just watching the messages. - Does "some people want this feature" mean a wide variety of people do, or mainly one person? So far I haven't heard anybody else say, "Yes, I want to use it." Of course, there may be people on the user list who'd want it, who aren't subscribed to this list - Are we comfortable with a Javascript-only solution? WebHelpers used to have Javascript libraries but took them out because we can't keep up with the rapidly-changing state of the art in Javascript libraries, So Pylons generally does not come with Javascript, except for an optional feature in webhelpers.paginate. TurboGears does come with more Javascript, and because it includes repoze.who it'll pick up anything from there. The issue is not just that a Javascript-only algorithm locks out non-JS users (including screen readers for the blind), but that if we include some Javascript the question arises, "Why this Javascript and not others?" -- Mike Orr <sluggos...@gmail.com> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
