Hi, This is my third or fourth attempt to find a sponsor for the python-albatross package. So far, I've been contacted by one developer who was interested in sponsoring the package; he never replied to my reply, however, so I assume he has other things to do at the moment. Meanwhile, I'm continuing my search for a sponsor. Before I resort to bribery, I'm going to try to speak convincingly about Albatross. At the same time, because I suspect there are people on the debian-python list that could be interested but don't read debian-mentors, I'm Cc'ing this mail to debian-python. Albatross is a very nice piece of software for developing small web applications. It's written in Python. Upstream activity seems to have accelerated during the summer and the atmosphere on the Albatross mailing list is very friendly and helpful, with the developers and users juggling ideas, advice and code as ideas, advice and code should be juggled. Recently, for example, a standalone, small HTTP server was introduced by a user, and Albatross now sports support for standalone application deployment in addition to regular CGI, FastCGI and mod_python application deployment with Apache. If you write anything from simple dynamic web pages to full-blown web applications, then you should really check out Albatross. If you'd like to try an approach that is different from PHP but still sensible when the application grows beyond what regular CGI can do, then Albatross may well be worth a look. And if, at the same time, you happen to be a Debian Developer, then please help me introduce this package into Debian. Packages can be found at http://people.paniq.net/~fabbe/debian/albatross/ and an ITP concerning Albatross is at http://bugs.debian.org/193574 The Albatross site is at http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/albatross/ Thanks for your time, -- Fabian Fagerholm <fabbe@paniq.net>
