Hi- Just wanted to offer my thoughts on this (QuickWiki) - I think it's a great addition - the only aspect that strikes me as off-key is the sections covering app distribution, paster (other than minimum for creating/running Pylons projects), ez_setup and friends.
While I realize the usage of these tools is considered an important feature, I think going into them in an intro tutorial (also called "Main Pylons 0.9 Getting Started Tutorial" on the wiki front page) is both distracting and a bit off-putting. I think it's no secret many people initially (and still perhaps) find setup tools and less common paste utils a bit confusing. Covering the minimum paster/ez to create/develop/run Pylons projects would be more sensible it seems to me -- having steps with these other tools makes basic Pylons usage look a lot more complicated than it really is. That said, they're certainly useful topics that could definitely use the information and coverage in a tutorial -- just not in an intro one. Also I could be totally wrong, but my guess is the number of people who need to bundle their apps for distribution to the world in general (cheeseshop) is much smaller than those who would benefit from learning how to use ez/paste to handle issues of in-house deployment and upgrading of Pylons installs/apps. I would assume the overall methods would be similar but think the change in focus would be helpful to more people... Sorry to critique without offering a concrete solution, but thought it was worthwhile to mention how it strikes someone a bit less initimate with the libs than you (James and others). And maybe others here will disagree but I figure a few newcomers might agree! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
