I totally disagree - Dabo is NOT a moving target. I have code that is now

near 3 years old and it still runs without changes using todays commit. I

will concede that a few changes may have broken someone's older code but that

does not happen often. Ed, Paul and others try their best to insure that does

not happen. That said, Dabo reserves the right to do so - if it makes sense

to do so.

I'm guessing that you have been watching the commits and are under the

impression that those commits break legacy code. 98% of the commits either

improve performance or add a new enhancement. If the 2% of the commits do

break legacy code that commit is fixed.

Yes it true Dabo lacks documentation. No Dabo does not have an "out-dated"

book either. But if you review the recent changes to the doc's I think you

will find they have improved. But that's not really what most developers

really want - is it. They want extended tutorials, how to's and a better

understanding the basic's of the framework. Just like Django I doubt we will

ever get there. But I'm sure the Dabo community will offer more in the

future.
