[etwist] Do not call repository's start_looping_tasks anymore and warn about this
We are about to drop this method from Repository class and replace it by a
blocking alternative. This is not compatible with how things currently work in
a Twisted server implementation. So do not start repository "looping tasks" in
Twisted server anymore and issue a warning about this.
If someone is interested in restoring the "all-in-one" behavior where the
repository runs within a Twisted server, they may start by implementing
repository looping tasks using a Twisted mechanism such as, e.g.,
http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/time.html and eventually
provide the repository with a compatible scheduler instance so that is can
register its periodic tasks. At the moment, we lack resources to do this (and
maintain the Twisted server of CubicWeb in general).

What is CubicWeb?
-----------------
With CubicWeb, the Semantic Web is a construction game!
CubicWeb_ is a semantic web application framework, licensed under the LGPL, that
empowers developers to efficiently build web applications by reusing components
(called cubes) and following the well known object-oriented design principles.
Its main features are:
* an engine driven by the explicit data model of the application,
* a query language named RQL similar to W3C’s SPARQL,
* a selection+view mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation,
* a library of reusable components (data model and views) that fulfill common needs,
* the power and flexibility of the Python programming language,
* the reliability of SQL databases, LDAP directories, Subversion and Mercurial for storage backends.
Being built since 2000 by an R&D project still going on today, supporting
100,000s of daily visits at some production sites, CubicWeb is a proven end to
end solution for semantic web application development that promotes quality,
reusability and efficiency.
The unbeliever will read the quick overview_ of CubicWeb.
The hacker will join development at the forge_.
The impatient will move right away to installation_ and set-up of a CubicWeb
environment.
