I am personally interested in seeing the foundation for TurboGears 2.0 put together fairly soon. And open source is all about itch scratching, so we'll see what happens. I haven't spoken with Mark yet to see how yesterday went, but I think they'll make some good progress on TG 1.1 at the sprint this week. If that does go well, that'll leave that much more breathing room for others of us to get 2.0 in shape. The net result of the TG 2.0 work will be that TG and Pylons will each have more components to choose from than we do currently. We both want to use "the best", so we'll naturally gravitate toward a collection of common ones. There will be some differences which may or may not resolve themselves. Regardless of whether the two projects merge, they're certain to share even more in common than they do today. Believe it or not, Zope is increasingly playing in the same ballpark that those of us in TurboGears and Pylons-land are playing in. That means that even more components and libraries will be available for the stacks we want to build. It's all good stuff.
