why not other compet i tors?
django: no!★ less code more magic
★ not so flexible
(specification is growing)
★ using SQLAlchemy
could be tricky
drupal : no!★ security problems
(370 CVE entries)
★ integration is more
difficult
(PHP vs. Python)
★ missing features -
workflow, complex ACL, etc.
openerp : hmm★ quite complex: CRM, sales,
accounting and much more
★ not enough time
to fully investigate it
What matters
Proper Tools
Proper ROLES
What's next?
