My final Web Panel proposal (submitted)
I'll edit http://us.pycon.org/TX2007/WebFrameworksPanel as I update things, but here's the proposal I submitted:
- Frameworks:
- Zope (?)
- CherryPy (Robert Brewer)
- TurboGears (Kevin Dangoor?)
- Django (Adrian Holovarty?)
- Pylons (Ben Bangert?
- Quixote (Neil?)
- Twisted web (?)
- web.py (Aaron Swartz?)
- 2 minute presentation by each representative, introducing:
- point of framework;
- short example
- guess at user base
- size of developer community
Followup questions:
- When did the framework come into existence and what problem was it created to solve?
- Why did the frameworks that existed at the time not meet your particular needs?
- What are its strengths and maturity level? What is it ideal to use for?
- What wouldn't you use it for? why not?
- What frameworks are related?
- What are your future directions?
- How do you feel about WSGI, and what benefits (if any) do you think it brings?
- Do you use an O/R mapping (SQLObject/SQLAlchemy), and if so, what benefits do you think it gives you? Any negatives?
- What template language(s) do you favor/support?
- How well do you support AJAX?
- What sort of testing infrastructure do you use/support?
I'll have a chat server or a Web site where people can ask followup questions, if the Internet connectivity is sufficient (it wasn't, last year!) Otherwise, I'll open the floor up to questions towards the end.

Those aren't very pointed questions... I don't think everyone should answer the same questions. Too many people, too little time to make useful responses. Instead I think it's better to target things that are interesting or some key questions targetted on a per-framework basis. And challenge the participants directly -- especially with questions given to them ahead of time, it's fair to give questions that aren't neutral.
