[Twisted-Python] greetings!
hallo, everyone! i just thought i would introduce myself, because i think i am going to be posting a lot of questions on this list. i keep on reading how easy it is to program with your product, but my experience with python is very limited, and ,honestly, i really don't have that much time for it because of work. i still put in plenty of time with it, though. i love the language. it beats the hell out of java, which i have to use everyday for work. it really feels like i am playing instead of programming. =-) i also wanted to discuss with you my plans with my new found language. i am currently working for a startup. i am designing their first project, and i am the sole programmer. when our company starts hiring, i will be in charge of development, tech support, and q.a.. what i want is a centralized system to support all three of these departments. i want a cvs, project management, bug tracking, bug assignment, tech suport logging, customer support log, registration server, update server, and document server (for emailing customers .pdf copies of the manuals). i understand that this is a monumental task. *shrug* one of the things that i hated about my old job (besides management ;-) was that i had to use 5 programs to do everything i had to do. it was a pain in the ass. i don't want my crew to have to go through that stupid little hell. (side track - oh, and yeah, i do know about zope. i worked with it some, but i decided i would rather work with your product so i could work with pure python.) right now, i am tightening up my python skills by going through some books. so i thought i would send out this email, get some ideas on how to start (or maybe to stop =-P), and then start the design phase, and, who knows, maybe even write some test. (i really just discovered unit testing. i was out of the programming loop for about a year until six months ago.) so, tell me, am i shooting too high? is this feasible? any thoughts you have would be greatly appreciated and thanked! guhby, rwd

Well there are already Zope products to do just about everything you want to do. There are very few, if any, complete implementations of what you want in Twisted. Although it would be great if someone were to make all of this available in Twisted, I think it's too much for one person to do well in a reasonable amount of time, and that you should take another look at Zope/Plone/etc.. -bob
