[skeleton] Set cubicweb.bwcompat to False in development.ini Quite a few things from the default web UI do not work when running the application through pserve (in particular, data files are not apparently served). So better disable the "bwcompat" mode until we are sure it works properly (or it gets dropped ;)).

=====================================================
|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.

Main Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* an engine driven by the explicit :ref:`data model
  <TutosBaseCustomizingTheApplicationDataModel>` of the application,

* a query language named :ref:`RQL <RQL>` similar to W3C's SPARQL,

* a :ref:`selection+view <TutosBaseCustomizingTheApplicationCustomViews>`
  mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation,

* a library of reusable :ref:`components <Cube>` (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.

Built since 2000 from an R&D effort still continued, 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.

QuickStart
~~~~~~~~~~

The impatient developer will move right away to :ref:`SetUpEnv` then to :ref:`ConfigEnv`.
