Clint-You sound skeptical of the utility of adding Bonjour. I'll try to reason why I think it's important for Django to have this.
Is Django competing for mindshare among web developers? Every little bit of polish matters. TurboGears already has this, and you can bet that as Apple integrates Rails into Leopard, they're thinking about "fit and finish" stuff like this. It's always a really nice feeling when you get a little surprise like finding the website you're developing in your Bonjour bar. "Wow: someone thought of that." It gives you (well, me anyway) a nice tingle and makes a positive emotional connection-much like the feeling I got when I realized how much work Django's free Admin app saves me. This kind of stuff evangelizes itself. If you're developing more than one Django site at the same time, they'll show up by name in Bonjour, instead of localhost:port. While I can keep it straight that MisterWidget is running on localhost:8000, CrazyBlog is running on localhost:8020, and MyWebStore is running on localhost:8080, why should I have to? It's much nicer to hit the Bonjour bar and pull them down by name. While this is a contrived example, I think it illustrates the point nicely. I don't actually use Firefox at all, other than to make sure my websites look and behave normally in it. I simply dislike the browser. I use Opera and Safari. Camino (the Mac-native browser with a creamy Gecko core) also uses Bonjour, so it would be useful to non-Safari Mac devs as well. If no one has added this by the time I'm more proficient in Django's innards (I've only got about 8 hours' total experience in Django and I haven't even finished my first tutorial yet), I'll submit a patch myself and hope it gets accepted. It's worth doing and worth having. And it's easy! The TurboGears code to do this, in their setup.py, is not very many lines of code. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
