I have been using Turbine 2.3.1 for 4 years at my current company (previous versions since 2001). It has been a very flexible, expandable technology.
Frankly 2.3.1 has been very solid, to the extent that I haven't yet upgraded to a newer version... though I am sure that I will get to this eventually. I have wondered at times about the cool things that others have done or are trying to do with Turbine. The obvious thing that seems to attract developers to tools is new and useful features, or even useful approaches. It sometimes seems as if people only submit to this site when they have some immediate problem to solve. It would be great to hear about other's techniques, and solutions or just something that they came across that is cool. Answers to individual questions are great, but collaborative discussions, debates, etc, are what keep larger groups of people interested and help technologies like Turbine thrive and grow. >From personal experience, I would guess that knowing that something can be done with Turbine, or that there is an accessible approach/solution would provide enough motivation for new developers to take the time to learn and become proficient with Turbine. One thing that I created for use with Turbine is a very basic approach for re-skinning the same VM in multiple languages. I also find it useful for customizing/re-purposing the same page without having to re-code the logic. We support multiple affiliates who want their own flavors of our products, etc. I am quite certain that better minds than mine would look at my approach for the above and say "I can do it even better than that", or "there is already a better solution", etc. This is the whole point.
