djangoappengine is in trouble and I think this will give Kay more interest and life

[Paolo Casciello]

Guys,

I've just read that djangoappengine is being taken over by new developers since original ones stopped ( http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/goodbye ).

I wish my best luck on that project because it's great. But I think this is time for Kay to shine since new devels are searching a good GAE framework.

What i love of Kay is it's philosophy. It's Django-like but dedicated to the GAE platform's strength. This is good for new devels and perfect for old ones which already knows django' style of applications.

I think we (may I use "we"? :P ) need, in order:

1. release a py27 version
2. setup a simple official website for kay with all the social bells and whistles
3. evolve documentation

What do you think?

Bye

Definitely! Maybe I can work on releasing an RC(release candidate) for py27 first.

1. setup a simple official website for kay with all the social bells and whistles

How about using Google+ Page?

1. evolve documentation

Yeah, that's important.

 

What do you think?

Agreed. Now I'm working on packaging an RC for py27. Hopefully I can release it in few days.

I'd appreciate it if anyone can work on the documentation.

Thanks,

Hi Takashi,

Hmm. The google+ pages are good but i think it can't substitute a good well organized website.

Also for the "eat your own dogfood" principle. We need that the official website runs on kay. :) IMHO

I could help on it when I find something wrong.

I've noticed the following so far:

 - Tutorial limited. We need to make it a little more specific and complete.

 - To much "old code". Like in the routing section. I think it's not useful to explain how to setup rules in the old way when we shoould use only the new way. If I want to see the old documentation there's a link to it on top left for previous versions.

 - Extend some methos.. I needed to go on the module reference to learn how url_for works in Kay. :) And it's one of the main functions used in templates (at least in ours :D )

I will contribute something on those aspects in the future. :)

Bye,
