Hi Luciano, You said that right, web2py has a great community :) .. welcome aboard. I'm sure you will find web2py a superb web development framework. I have been using web2py casually for the last one year or so, and on a serious basis for the last 2 months. If you are happy about the inbuilt cron i think you will be overjoyed when you check out the in built scheduler :D take a look at: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/4?search=scheduler#Scheduler-(experimental) http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/8?search=scheduler
and watch this video: http://vimeo.com/27478796 I Personally think the web2py documentation (the book) is a great resource. A new CookBook is being published by PacktPub And as you rightly pointed out, the google group is one of web2py's biggest strengths.
