hello out there! I just wanted to let everyone know that I am currently under the process of taking over maintenance of all of the ToscaWidgets projects which currently reside at:
http://svn.turbogears.org/projects/ My plan is to move all of these projects over to: http://twtools.googlecode.com/svn/projects/ If you are an owner/maintainer of one of these projects, and have a compelling reason to leave it in the Turbogears trunk let me know! I think for the time being ToscaWidgets and ToscaWidgetsForms are going to stay, but anything with a "tw" is getting moved. each project will be getting its own trunk/tags/branches directory. Those of you who are still actively maintaining their projects will be given access to twtools. If the package is not registered with pypi, I will be registering it. If the package *is* registered with PyPI, I would appreciate it if you could add the user twtools to the project roles as an owner. If you have a private tw project that you want to publicise, and need to find it a good home, TwTools is here for you. Please just email me or Mark Ramm and one of us will give you access to the twtools repo and a project folder complete with trunk/tags/branches for your project. The only thing we ask in return is that you either allow us to register your project, or add twtools as a "owner" to your pypi account. Why should share my ownership? The fact is that tw projects are small and are often times abandoned, because they hold little value by themselves. However, collectively the ToscaWidgets libraries are pretty valuable to the WSGI community. They save developers time and provide a place to put your work if you move from company to company. We want the ability to pass maintenance from one developer to the next, especially as JS libraries move pretty quickly and there is a need to stay up-to-date. Finally, I am going to propose a "tw." pypi namespace. This will allow a clean slate for projects that are abandoned and goes along with the "z3c.blah" and "zope.blah" way of doing things (which I rather like). Vote here to keep it twBlah or tw.blah. (I also think getting rid of capitals is more PEP8 compliant) This email is going to be duplicated somewhere in the TG documentation. cheers. -chris --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Trunk" group.
