I have been a member of Charpy since the first meeting. One of the member put up this website using WSGI application and created a Mercurial repository to contribute to the site. I had spent some time reading about GIT from Linus and I just learned a bit about Mercurial by watching a video on it. After I was impressed with how powerful as a SCM it was. I just had my first experience using it and am amazed at how easy it is to use compared to something like GIT. Only problem I had was it didn't easy install on my OS X 10.5. After downloading it and python setup.py install I was up an running with it. Mercurial is the sweet spot of being just as complex as it needs to be adding all the things that I really needed that SVN was missing.
Charpy has started to get engaging at this point. The guys are a great group of people and I think that with the traffic picking up on the mailing list the groups is starting to solidify. Using the base WSGI implementation is a little rough around the edges however it works. It is nice to have a full stack like Pylons or Turbogears. However for the things this site needs to do it is exactly as complex as it needs to be.
