We've been using a new widget library in a project at work, and while
it's been open source for a while, we've not been talking abou it
much.   It was in many ways an attempt to return from the framework
independence, and complexity of toscawidgets to be a bit more like the
original turbogears widget library.

http://bitbucket.org/rick446/easywidgets/

Right now it competes pretty directly with toscawidgets 2, and
ToscaWidgets has some advantages.   I'm hopeful that either

1) the EasyWidgets and TW2 devs start working together

or

2) the competition between the two widget frameworks sparks continued innovation

Right now I see the advantages of EasyWidgets as being:

* server side stuff handled by standard TG controllers
* auto-concatenate support for resources
* support for cache-busting config value
* no injection middleware
* support for CDN via a read-through static resource cache

At the same time TW2 has:

* more docs
* slightly more maturity --though it's still very publicly only
available in alpha
* more framework independence
