Hmm, yes, that is true. What do you think would be the best way? Blog posts? I'm just unsure of what to say, should I just put a new post up now and then saying, "We're not dead, really!" ? While I do work on various stuff, a good amount of it is also experimental, just to see if things will work. It also feels even worse to make a blog post saying I'm working on something, then I get bogged down at work and the feature is a month late or something which seems to make people even more unhappy. > One of the first concerns of new people is "is this really an active > project? what's going on? will it be around in a year after I've put > months into learning the project and converting my work to this > framework? will I be able to convince clients that I'm not using > something they will be stuck with" We did update the web page to have news that keeps it a bit more current than the old one. If other people would like posting ability to the PylonsHQ news blog, to announce sites using Pylons, new things, etc. I'd be happy to permit more people to post there.

Yes, and there is definitely uptick in Pylons usage, which would be awesome to note somewhere as acknowledging increased use helps drive more use, etc. Send me your PylonsHQ login and I'll add PylonsHQ news posting permission to your account so you can help us spread the word. :) Cheers, Ben --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
