-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Urgh. I usually avoid getting involved in these discussions--not because I don't want to participate but because the ML style does not work very well with my brain. There's all these different parts of this proposal and some are being rejected by some people and modified by other people and it's very hard for me to figure out what the whole picture is. In this case, I have to say something because this is pretty important to the product I'm developing. I just spent 6 weeks doing a conversion to Nevow because Woven isn't being supported any more. I do *not* want to do the same thing with Web. I've made modifications to Twisted trunk that I was hoping to get out of 2.0 for our official release, but if there's not going to be a web1 any more, that puts this project in jeopardy again because it means I may not be able to use 2.0. So here's what I have to say: please *summarize*. I need to get a sense of: 1) Timeline.. when are changes being implemented, in what order, tied to what release etc. 2) How is the svn repo going to change? 3) What is going to be put into what release by whom? 4) What's the impact if you're currently using web1 and you want to be using web2 because 1 isn't supported any more? 5) What's the impact if you stay with web1? If you haven't decided yet, go ahead and decide, but then summarize afterwards. :-) Thanks..
