I'm happy to hear this. I was thinking of asking the original poster's questions, too, when I first started reading the documentation. You may want to consider making a few adjustments in the existing docs just so you don't scare people away. For example, * The http://www.authkit.org/docs/ page says "There is also a development version," which links to http://authkit.org/svn/AuthKit/trunk#egg=AuthKit-dev. >From there, if you click on the README.txt (http://authkit.org/svn/ AuthKit/trunk/README.txt), it says """ AuthKit +++++++ WARNING: THIS CODE IS NOT PRODUCTION READY """ This version of the code appears from the README to be 0.3, which is not the 0.4 branch. * The AuthKit Manual, http://authkit.org/docs/manual.html, is dated 2006-08-31. The ten-month lapse made me question whether the project was being actively developed. Maybe updating the date would help? * The http://www.authkit.org/docs/ page says (note also the 2008-08-30 date) """ Status AuthKit is not quite finished. It hasn't been used in production yet and will almost certainly have some bugs. Date: 2008-08-30 """ * The Pylons Integration manual, http://authkit.org/docs/pylons.html, starts out with """ Warning Fith draft, code to support the documentation still being written, nearly there now, but use at your own risk! """ It looks like the 0.4 branch you're talking about available at http://authkit.org/svn/AuthKit/branches/0.4/ . Is that correct correct? Sounds like 0.4 might be better to start with than the current 0.3.3pre5 if you're using it in production. It would also be helpful to post the easy_install incantation needed to pull the 0.4 branch. I'm just exploring AuthKit now, but will deploy it behind Apache w/ SSL. I currently have AuthKit-0.3.0pre5-py2.5.egg loaded. Thanks for releasing AuthKit. Hope my new-user perspective comments are helpful. --David Niergarth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
