I am looking for web and application development frameworks - Webware
is a possible candidate, partly due to being Python-based and partly
that it seems to have a sensible approach and a structure. 

I have used Zope and am in the process of replacing it, mainly due to
its un-necessarily complicated and quirky architecture, poor
organization and dire documentation - which is some of the worst I
have ever had the displeasure to encounter.

A main concern about a framework - or any software for that matter -
is the reliability of the software. This can be indicated by the
progress of bug resolution, overcoming weaknesses and other signs of
product development. Although I am encourage by Webware's recent
developments (WSGI application, web site re-organization), I am
discouraged by the slow or apparently non-existent progress of bug
fixes plus the time taken between releases (e.g. over one year since
the last beta release).

Please note that I appreciate it is often difficult for authors to
continue to develop or support open-source - we all gotta make a
living :-) , so I do not want to criticize in anyway: the effort which
the Webware authors have exhibited should be applauded. Nonetheless,
if I (or anyone) is going to commit themselves to a platform,
framework, or whatever, then they need to know that if something
doesn't work, it will get fixed sooner rather than later.

So, after all that, what do I want to know? I would like to know what
the development and general status of Webware is. Has it gone through
a quiet time, but now effort being renewed? Or has it, in terms of
serious development and bug fixes, stalled? If so, why (e.g. lack of
developer support, time, etc.)?

Any info or response - other than flames - would be greatly
appreciated.

cheers,
chas
