http://toscawidgets.org/ broken ?

[Brett]

Hello,

http://toscawidgets.org/ seems to be broken, or all the links on the
menu bar are somehow broken, or there is something else more
fundamental wrong.

Also there seems to be issue(s) with DeprecationWarnings on centos 6.2
with python 2.6.6, which is reproduced furthur below.

They are using version 0.9.8-1, all of the __new__ functions i saw had
parameters, apparently that is a bad thing now.. "paster quickstart"
also prints the same error, but also says:

"Command 'quickstart' not known (you may need to run setup.py
egg_info)"

Is there a recommended / kosher version of Python recommended ?

Cheers
Brett

I'll have to ask if there are any tw1 maintainers out there who can answer the
question about python versions and deprecation warnings. I cannot answer such
things.

The site is another question all together. paj and some others maintained it in
the past; I'll take a look into getting it back online and spruced up.

Hi,

Sorry about the site being down. It was previously hosted on the old TurboGears server, which expired in December. It then moved onto a server of mine, but the migration has been a bit botched. All the data is safely backed up however.

The twWebSite was previously a Pylons app, written against a very old version of Pylons. I've tried hard to resurrect it, but I keep hitting trouble. The site was previously broken because the correct controllers were not getting called for parts of the site other than index.

Right now, the site is static HTML, with the front page and documentation working ok.

The next priority is getting the repositories online. I think putting them on Bitbucket is the best solution, and I've asked Chris P to add them to the toscawidgets account on there. Ideally we'd migrate the trac data onto there too, although I don't know how to do that and it may be a disproportionate effort.

Beyond that, we need a bit of a tidy up. I suggest keeping the current theme, I think it's quite good. We need to better incorporate Ralph's widget browser, can host it on my server. And some tw1/tw2 info on the front page.

Paul

Hi,

The site is much better now.

Has anyone got suggestions for the text for tw1 vs tw2?

I'm not sure anyone is around who can give support for tw1 (Diez?), so
I think the advice has to be use tw2. The main drawback I think is no
resource optimiser, and that some tutorials still describe tw1.

Hi,

I'm out of this game. I switched jobs, and are not involved with web anymore. And Django will be the upcoming framework for the colleagues, so our investment into TW1 is sadly forsaken.

So maybe it's time to let TW1 die gracefully, dunno.

All the best,

Diez

Thanks for chiming in, Diez. Good luck with the new direction!

Paul, I'd like to do a good bit of work on the front page and corresponding
updates to the general design. I'll work on a prototype when I can and send it
to you.
