Web2py is Great, Greatest framework that i had ever tried and stick onto it.
But what it is lacking is publicity and lack of KILLER web-apps like those Made PHP most popular web-development platform. Here are some , what that had made PHP Popular and which will also make Web2py + Python all together more popular and makes development enviorment of Choice for web: Necessary APPS: *Database Administration:* phpMyAdmin - Is the Most used webbased Database Manager ever we have admin for web2py but that alone is not sufficient, we need a DB Admin for every Databases on the current system . Current commercial project i am doing have some features for it and when i free i will start making dedicated one . I will need contributers later. Hows about PySQLAdmin sounds? *File Manager :* Those who work on LAMP , they usually use a file manager like net2ftp. Current my elFinder-web2py works well for this case, but i need contributors . *CMS* KPAX exist but it is not dedicatedly maintained , we will need dedicated maintainers for it , lets let Massimo dedicate his works on web2py. KPAX should not only be as Appliance , it should have its own Domain and brand.And lets make it better than CMS. *Blog* There are many blog exist on the appliance , but we need a dedicate best one that can go toes to toes against Wordpress. + will need A Dedicated domain , and maintainer. * * * * KILLER APP Ideas *Stack Overflow Clone:* For web2py community and as separate Open Source Project , lets make a SO Clone? *Email Client:* * * Python have a very rich Built-in mail handling libs , developing a gmail-clone wont be hard at all. Ticketing Systems: Many enterprises needs a Help Desk/ Ticketing system . Best one i used is RT (Perl based ticketing system). We can make a better one based on web2py. What i can contribute : I am planning to provide a site for hosting web2py app and demos for it. I have server / space and good domain (www.web2pyhost.com, scaryhits.com) or should it be web2pyapps.com for code hosting we can use google for that. * *
