Re: A list of plugins?

Hi,

With regards to that, my proposal is:
1. Stop pointing people away from the project. I have no idea why this is 
being done. Its like some ultra-self-deprecation is going on. Instead try 
and make people contribute. Understand that CherryPy is easily the best at 
what it does, the way it does it.
2. Invite interested parties to a conversation about it. Including what 
should be the focus of the project. At least, the current maintainers 
should be interested in a conversation, unless they expressively want the 
project to die, for some reason. But one can't have control without 
commitment. And, like I fell is coming, is that proposing a fork is really 
stupid, why throw away an existing brand and organisation?
3. Start a loose consortium around CherryPy with the companies interested. 
Doesn't even have to be much money involved.

For some reason, it feels like CherryPy as a project is almost 
anti-commercial and anti-promotion. That is just my 
A testament to the usefulness of framework, if any, is that it still 
persists under such dire circumstances.
