When I check out an interesting new CMS or framework the first thing I do is see what others are doing with it. If no professional level sites are using it, I don't get excited. It's marketing - sell the results not the product. Get people excited. A nice showcase would be a big push - and use another domain on a different IP for the showcase as as well as on web2py.com
I have to find the time to do what I am planning with web2py, and then I would love to be displayed on the site. Should be soon.
