I am +1 on trying hard to get TW polished before the above. We already have great tutorials now from Chris A and Lee and others that work in 95% similar manner. No way should we waste that. And Alberto knows pylons and is serious about making it work on both, also important. > > We do need to add another couple core TW committers before I'll feel > really happy about the dependency.

So, if you are > willing to work on docs, I think we should consider committing > ourselves 100% to TW ;) I am willing to commit to work on docs IFF: - It can wait till March, my sig other is at school and my margins are financially suicidal right now. Must finish killing albatross this month - I can get questions answered pretty quick, the code is definitely a stretch past my level of just groking from the source, Alberto? - Chris P is commited to ToscaWidgets for DBSprockets. It seems like this is the case, Chris can you weigh in on this? Chris's dedication and approach to DBSM ( ha ha! new nickname! oh I kill me ... ) is very impressive and if he is committed to TW then I am more comfortable committing to it hoping it won't be a collapsed barn - we get more developers with full access to tw repository so that if we find issues people like Chris and Florent can just fix 'em as they see fit ( maybe this is already the case? I dunno, same issue as Mark's ) Lee also expressed an interest in TW recently. I really believe if we can get TW on a better path it can be awesome. But we really really need to fix that barn before TG2.
