I'm a newbie, so my questions probably have easy answers, but anyway. Among a few things, there are two I don't understand and think can be simplified.
1. this url: app/controller/function/var1/var2 For me at least, most of the time I probably have only one controller. If there is one controller, may be we should get rid of "controller" in the url? This will be sufficient: app/f/a/b/c 2. Similarly, most of the time I have only one app (current app). But I use URL() a lot and every time I have to pass in request like this URL(r=request, f='foo'). Why do I have to pass in request if I have only one app, one controller? Furthermore, isn't request supposed to be global? If so, do we have to pass it in?
