TG2 is built on top of a very useful stack of components, many of them
WSGI based.  And we've been making a lot of progress via monthly
sprints so far in 2008, so we're starting to plan sprints a bit
further out.

Here's a list of the sprints for the rest of the year, some are not
yet finalized, but we're planning to do a sprint a month for all of
2008.

Right now Pylons is working hard to finalize WebHelpers and prepare a
0.9.7 release.    Once that's done, we'll need to be ready to do a tg
1.9.7a1 release.    Right now we have a reasonably feature-complete
core which can be used to build real applications, but we need a
couple of things to be ready for the 1.9.7 release:

* We need to re-implement the buffet functionality since it's going
away in pylons.
* We need to finish a good set of core documentation.
* We need to improve our test coverage in the TG2 package

Other things which I would like to have in a 1.9.7 release:

* A replacement for Identity (likely a combination of repose.who and
Authority).
* Documentation on how to use a TransactionManager with TG2
* improve mime-type handling as part of object didpatch and @expose
(make it so the url: "foo.html" tells expose you want HTML back from
the foo method).
* implement  WebHelper support
* Improve the FormEncode documentaiton
* Add explicit support for SQLAlchemy-migration to TG2 (this package
exists, we just need to document it and support it!)

Other things I'd love to have:

* Some usability help on the WebError layout (make features more
easily discoverable).
* Some CSS/HTML love for repoze.profile's html display of the profile
information
* Some CSS/HTML love for the TG2 default project page.
* A new TG2 logo, and a new TG2 icon
* Creation of more ToscaWidgets.

I'm sure there are lots of other sprint sized tasks which could be
added.  Were casting the net very widely with these sprints, because
we don't just want TurboGears development to get better we want Python
Web Development to get better.   So, even if your project has nothing
to do with TurboGears feel free to bring it to one of these sprints--
we support all kinds of reusable web component development!
