I'm not sure I agree, because it's just an extra choice that a novice has to make, which is another chance to fail. The novices will not know how to add functionality to the minimal quickstart to bring it up to the level of the others, nor will they know which parts can safely be removed from the larger version. It also leads to support problems because when newbies ask questions about their quickstarted code, you then have to ask them which type of quickstarted code they're using. You already have optional auth and this just adds 3x more variations. So personally I would vote for just a single quickstart, with or without auth. > I'll invite you to look at the quickstart code and add as much stuff > as you want, if you come to IRC right now we can do that.

But I think that before that happens, a few extra comments and docstrings in the existing files won't make matters any worse for the experts but will make matters easier for the novices. So I hope someone knowledgeable might consider doing this. -- Ben Sizer --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
