I agree. Generating code is usually not what you want (though it provides a nice quickstart, like the skeleton "tg-admin quickstart" providers. My idea's are somewhat inspired by the way the Plone/Zope3 machinery works - generate "defaults" out of standard definitions (either existing definitions like interfaces or sqlobject definitions) or explicit ones (like formdefinitions). On top of this, you should be able to customize everything through html fragments/macro's, skinning, python inheritance, etc. I'l not really sure how all of this fits into TG - I'm too inexperienced with it at this moment :) Regards, Ivo -- Drs.
