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.
