- 3. framework n+1 • merge into wnlib part by part • Jinja intergration already started • replace parts of handler.py and auth.py with webob • slowly introduce multi-lingual • strategy: • dual release: keep both versions active and let part of system be in old and part in new (like reports) • slowly covert all models, views, controllers to new model.
