[bottlepy] Roadmap of Bottle

[Luis Garcia]

Hi everyone,
I am developing some apps with bottle since 3 years ago and I love this
micro framework, it is easy to use, elegant and quick for producing
prototypes. However I saw that version 0.13 is not coming to a stable
release for a long time. I have checked the repo on Github and it seems
that people is still contributing to it.
Is there any roadmap, desired plug-ins, or improvements in mind?
I ask this, because the developers blog seems to be dead.
(http://blog.bottlepy.org/)
And I do not know if Bottle is already an ended project or there is still
work to do. If it is not, it would be worth it to put some ideas on the
table, to push the development a little bit further. Other people can find
motivation if is clear that Bottle is still an active development.

Best regards,
Luis.

I echo those sentiments. We've made a serious investment in using Bottle
and the framework hasn't let us down. We'd like to contribute too.

Hi there,

The core project is alive and well, but more or less feature-complete
and in maintenance-only mode until I or someone else finds the time or
vision to push it forward.

The problem with 0.13 is that it grew to big. There are a LOT of
changes, and I am not entirely sure about some of them. For example, the
ResourceManager no one uses should probably go into a Plugin, or be
removed entirely. A half-asses release would lock it in place for at
least two other releases (to maintain the backwards-compatibility
promise). It's mostly clean-up work that needs to be done now:
Deprecating stuff, writing a changelog, add missing tests and so on.

In general, if you want to help: Provide feedback. Review issues and
pull-requests, especially feature requests. Tell people that their
pull-request lacks tests or documentation, breaks
backwards-compatibility or is better suited for a plugin than core
functionality, so I don't have to. As a core developer I find it really
hard to say "No" and not sound bossy or ungrateful. Community feedback
helps a lot.

I agree that a clean core is really helpful and useful and it should be
kept at the minimum. I also think that improvements has to be related with
security issues.
But I feel that a lot of plugins can be developed and I would like to see
the community helping creating a rich ecosystem.
It would help a lot a good practices compilation in terms of plugin
development. (at least for me).

I will keep an eye in github issues and see if I can help.
Thank you for developing Bottle.
