ok, that may be true but success with both communities doesn't have to be exclusive. In fact, I consider much easier and healthier to start as open source and get feeded by the open source community since the "enterprise framework" will only hit hard the enterprises when there are many and strong successful case studies to show. For the so intended "mature" companies, that's really important not to mention the direct contributions that a larger open source community can provide in the project development.
Idea: - associate the domain web2py.org to the Open Source community with a layout that gives more relevance to the development resources, WiKi for documentation, ... this website would have the latest version of web2py. - associate the domain web2py.com to Companies with a shiny layout that gives more relevance to Support, Background (case studies), features overview, links for books, and possibly licensing schemes for support. this website would have the second latest version of web2py (to improve testing and code maturity). best regards On Mar 16, 3:33 am, mdipierro <[email protected]> wrote: > web2py has about 10% of the market of Django which has 10% of the > market of Rails which has about 10% of the market of PHP, which has > 10% of the market of Java and ASP. > > I think we should go after Java and ASP users and play as nicely as we > can to Django and Rails users. > > Massimo > > On Mar 15, 9:49 pm, Francisco Gama <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > I understand Marco and he is quite right.
