Sounds like a good approach to me.   Ideally we want to attract
contributors outside of the TG2 world, and we want to make this
something that people want to contribute too (so that we can get
OpenID support, ect).    This is more likely to happen if we make it
work with the tools they allready use.   But, TurboGears defines one
of the most popular toolsets in the python community, so even if it's
TG specific it should attract people.

Here's my basic thoughts on the subject off framework independent
components: The trade-off between generality and framework
specificness should be handled on a case by case basis, depending on
who might end up wanting to use it, how much work it is to make it
framework independent, and how willing the authors of the component
are to work to support non TG2 users.

So, we definitely don't want our own ORM, or template system, and we
probably don't need our own authentication middleware, but I'd doubt
that a user-registration module would be worth making framework
neutral, since it will have to have  templates, depend directly on the
ORM, and it would be very hard indeed to abstract all of that away.
And I doubt that the component would really grown non TG2 users.   So,
it's all something that we have to deal with for each component we
create.
