Hi Massimo, I think should not be a problem. I am declaring the site as unofficial until you get comfortable with it. You could probably wait a bit longer and see how it evolves. My thoughts: * web2py is optimized for apps , Drupal is optimized for CMS. We could implement a CMS app with w2py but I think that will be so against DRY. * Both are Open Source software * We will be wasting our time if we try to duplicate Drupal (or Joomla) functionality with web2py. CMS is a problem that has been solved many times (esp. in the PHP / Java world) * Drupal is absolutely wonderful ( at the cost of being a bit complex to understand) has tons of themes, addon modules and a huge community etc. * I have not seen a Markdown/RST based wiki / CMS that is very easy to use AND works well/looks good . Drupal uses HTML for content and with CKeditor JS GUI editor, it is as easy as editing a MSWord (or OpenOffice) document * Many projects do host their docs "elsewhere" eg: Earlier, I had actively used Gridsphere (http://www.gridsphere.org) - a Java Portlet Server which used to host their docs/bugs with Atlassian Confluence / Jira. My opinion is that right now, we need to get something that is very easy to enable everyone, irrespective of their skill level to be able to contribute. And have a functional, visually appealing docs site. We can always migrate to a better app on python or web2py when it is ready for prime time. Do you have any specific issues with Drupal.
