Hi. For old Zope2 (and quixote) dev, looks promising and way easier than Django to get started on a project (and fun). Could you maybe extend the tutorial with using tornado's template inheritance for basic page template. Like for repeating html, header, footer and perhaps navigation block. Tornado's documentation for that is in the template module so that kinda slows down the learning process. I'll try this for my next project.

There's an IRC chat and a Google Group that you can check out when you start on your project. Both are linked directly from the home page on http://aspen.io http://aspen.io

  Google group was invite only, so HN was faster to get question across. I put my request in. Templating page answered my question, thanks. Don't know how I managed to miss that... Perhaps you could add a link from the simplates page to it.

    It didn't exist before you asked; I wrote it in response to your question. I've linked it from the simplates page and from the index. Approved your gg request. Have to do that for anti-spam. :^/

      @whit537, I really like how responsive you've been to questions and suggestions on this HN discussion. Gives one confidence that Aspen will be well maintained.

        Thanks man. I've been sitting on aspen/simplates for years, and I think its time may have arrived.

  @whit537, you might want to add this link to your templating page as it gives more examples of how to use the Tornado template language : http://joshink.com/posts/9/ http://joshink.com/posts/9/

I'm doing some weekend hacking using Aspen. I'm finding that Aspen is staying out of the way and any issues are actually my own shortcomings. Currently in the process of adding some Ajax to my web app.
