oops, that should be the other way around, but I expect anyone reading my post can figure that out. I really don't think it's realistic to expect to be able to focus the core team on code and hope the rest will somehow keep up. Writing docs and examples is not as fun as writing code, and doing so requires a thorough understanding of the framework. So what are the chances that we will get new contributors wanting to do so? But docs/marketing/web presence first is the price you pay to get users. If you don't want users, do it however you like. But most users want understanding more than features. The Django devs did a very very good job of that at the beginning, and it paid off handsomely in the long run for them. iain --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Trunk" group.
