Is it just me or development on web.py looks dead? No commits, bug
reports are "frozen"? I remeber there were some plans on new web
design, but ?

That's a good question...
The answer maybe web.py is just as good to be useful and has all the
needed features (or just the ones nedeed for development).
Or maybe it is really dead?

I am interested in any updates on web.py also.

Thanks,

The GitHub repo is not quite dead. Last commit has been dated December
18, 2009, and there are many forks out there that are based on the
mentioned commit, that go beyond that date.

I've a bit caught up with other work. Will be back at web.py development soon.

Does anyone closer to development know why the Launchpad has remained after switching to GitHub. Does it facilitate in the Ubuntu distribution process, is it legacy, or is it just superior?

Anand, when you find some time would it be possible to publish the source code of webpy.org as a new GitHub project?

There's a few things I'd like to contribute to the website at a lower level — OpenID login for wiki write access and the insertion of microformats where appropriate (user pages, history pages, changes [contributions], etc.) to name a few.

In the meantime I've hacked the site up in a few places to live prototype a new design. I've also begun a unification of overlapping content in an attempt to reduce the clutter that has grown over time and in between version transitions.

Installation compared to Install
Usage (in progress)
Deployment (to be started)
Documentation (to be started)
my user page

Let me know if you're interested in any of the above. I can always complete my documentation endeavors without interfering whatsoever with the existing site.

- - -

Also it'd be nice to have /user list all users and urge list members and irc-goers to register a user account.

This last request is tangentially related to a web.py project I'm working on myself — a social framework [1] that rests atop web.py. http://angelo.gladding.name/network/webpy.org/user/AngeloGladding previews how the microformatted content placed on my user page at http://webpy.org/user/AngeloGladding allows for relationship reciprocity in a decentralized social context (to be clear the "my website" link on webpy.org/user/AngeloGladding claims angelo.gladding.name to be owned by the same person, me, and the return link on angelo.gladding.name/network/webpy.org/user/AngeloGladding reciprocates the claim.) The side effect is that robots (my personal one primarily) can automatically infer that this is a resource important to my identity and do things with the data, the simplest and most obvious action being appending recent documentation (wiki) edits to my `lifestream` for lack of a better word.

The project is very much pre-alpha and likely not usable without documentation but if you're the slightest bit interested: http://canopyproject.org:10000/

We are still using it for managing bugs.

Thanks. I'm in the process of migrating the webpy.org to new Infogami
code. I've published code on github.

Yes, absolutely!

I'll add that.
