+1 on the idea, -1 on the name. tg-dev sounds like it's a pre-release version, not a "batteries included" one.
Since you're proposing that the download page points to the full-stack version, why not leave that named turbogears, and release a stripped down version as "tg-server", "tg-min", or such? -Ken PS: I also think that the quickstarted templates should include the specific package requirements & quickstart should run setup.py develop on the newly created project (to install the ORM, template system, auth/auth framework, and perhaps jslib), but that may be an argument for another day.
