That's just exactly what I wanted to know. And on the hole I think I agree with you, as converted turbogearians ( ! ) we should be able to find our way to a dashboard or indeed a 'spy' page (hmmm!) Just out of interest is there going to be a difference between turbogears.com and turbogears.org ?

I completely agree > If the last commit is weeks in the past, it might say "Slow-moving project". can you imagine that happening? ;-) > If the last commit is minutes ago, it might say "Still under heavy > development, wait until it settles down". good points, I think I was going to make another point - though I can't remember now! Anyways it looks like we have a good group of people to make a worthy attempt at this, and indeed the entire project - for me this lively helpful community is one of the strongest points and well worth promoting.
