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.
