Hello all, I saw the following article recently: <http://www.thebitsource.com/software-engineering/python/ sourceforgenet-chooses-python-turbogears-and-mongodb-to-redesign-their- web-site/>
This refers to a talk at PyCon entitled “How Python, TurboGears, and MongoDB are Transforming SourceForge.net”. I found it interesting that there isn't more coverage of this here on the TurboGears group. Apart from the obvious fact that this could be a good opportunity for TurboGears to gain some popularity by being backed by such an important organisation, it's mainly interesting that they are pioneering the 'NoSQL' approach with Turbogears. Alternatives to relational databases are gaining popularity at the moment and I was a bit surprised to see that there's been little talk about MongoDB here, nor of CouchDB, SimpleDB, etc., which makes SourceForge's decision to combine the two all the more interesting. Obviously Turbogears is more suited to this sort of paradigm change than Django or Ruby On Rails are due to the looser coupling between the model and the rest of the app. Is there much interest in these technologies among the existing TurboGears community, and more specifically in making their use with TG more prominent and explicitly supported? For example it would be interesting to have a quickstart that could give you the users/groups/ permissions functionality in one of these systems, or to have the use of such a database described in the documentation somewhere. I don't have a strong opinion on the issue, but I am just interested at what people here think about all this. -- Ben Sizer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
