I have only been using Turbogears for 3 days but I am very impressed with it. It is definitely what I was looking for. Thanks to the team.
I am working on adding a dynamic menu manager to TG based on http://www.tohzhiqiang.per.sg/projects/jsdomenu/ It seems to be the best open source one on dynamic drive. Writing the config file is a bit of a pain so I thought that it should use ajax to download the configuration automatically. I was going to contribute it when I was done. Then I was thinking, not everyone is going to want this module. Lots of people are going prefer some other wonderful menu system or write their own. What is needed is a TG version of CPAN with an easy install manager in toolbox. Sorry if this has been discussed before, I have not had time to go through all the prior emails. I have been excited to get rolling with TG. A module would have a unique name. If there can be only 1 of this type of module, it would also have a type. There might be a limit of 1 menu manager per site. There should definitely be only 1 user manager and 1 accounting system per site. FYI: I have a need for a different user manager so I will be wanting to replace the new one coming from TG. In case this is a good idea, I was thinking that it would be good to start the discussion now. A module API, where to place module files, install method, file repository would be nice to have before 1.0. I was starting some work on it but I think wiser heads than mine could come up with a design faster. Wish List - no particular order Theme manager - I am crappy at graphic design Module Loader Payment system - I have no desire to charge for any of the modules that I am planning on writing. I use a lot of public domain software. I am also use a lot of commercial SW. If it makes them write stuff for me faster, I am willing to pay for it. Hierarchical modules - A CMS module might contain several other modules. It would be pretty awesome if a user could download TG, then download Postnuke. Maybe add a few modules. Pick a theme. Bam - Start rolling. Alvin
