Hi, Thanks for your answer, Alessandro. You speak of several professionnal projects in your environment but a passive community. When I speak to french guys about turbogears, they are asking if TG is not yet dead.
I believe there are three things to do : - first is to define clearly when to use TG instead of django, flask, pyramid or other. As a nich product, TG must clearly define use-cases where it is better than competitors. - second is to communicate about it. - third is to make the community confident with the fact that TG is not dying and has a future. Even inside tg community the question is asked... I was personnaly asking myself (that's the reason for this thread) : "is it a good investment to spend time on TG instead of learning flask / django or other stuff. I'd be happy to help about this. Concerning the documentation, the cookbook recipes are nice, but most of the time this is not enough in order to succeed. This is where the community should help. Another problem is to give central access to the information related to TG. Because it is based on common components, it's complicated for the user to find the good information, and when found on the original documentation, there are some tg2-related specific problems which make the original documentation not enough. I feel the problem of TG is the community and if we want to make TG attractive, we have to make it more active. This may be done by ourself, but I also think it need more members. This is why I propose to do a bit of "marketing" about TG. What about starting a communication campaign like "no turbogears is not dead" showing a series of articles about what turbogears do well compared to competitors ? For example, "dealing with several databases is easier with TG than with django", or "building a mongodb web admin is out-of-the-box with tg" or other stuff like this ? I can write articles - this is something I like to do (and I believe I'm not too bad - at least in french;) ; but this has to be a community efforts (for example for subject definition... I'm a TG2 user, not a TG2 expert). I know about french websites where to make some visibility for the project ; what about english-speaking ones ?
