Hi all, looks great! As has been suggested before including the download numbers and maybe also a list of projects/companies that are using pytest? Also maybe someone has some good quotes by "Python gurus" praising pytest.
The company where I work has agreed to make a contribution, so as soon as the page is ready I'll forward it. Is there anything I can help with? I'm not a great pytest expert but I do use it A LOT for testing, I wrote a small plugin (pytest-datafiles) and I will brush up on the code and internals until June :-) Kind regards, Omar Am 04.02.2016 16:52 schrieb "holger krekel" <[email protected]>: > On Thu, Feb 04, 2016 at 11:46 +0100, Florian Bruhin wrote: > > * holger krekel <[email protected]> [2016-02-04 10:15:16 +0000]: > > > On Thu, Feb 04, 2016 at 08:56 +1100, Brianna Laugher wrote: > > > > I think a dedicated page on the pytest site is a good idea (as well > as a > > > > banner), then when it is over we can put the supporters names there > (if > > > > they wish). > > > > > > > > 55 days is a long time, maybe a 30 day campaign is better? > > > > > > I went for fourty.
