It got to be too late last night for me to finish writing the context for this message. I've just put two postings up on my blog to provide the context about this.
http://www.blueskyonmars.com/2005/12/20/python-and-the-one-web-framework/ http://www.blueskyonmars.com/2005/12/20/what-is-turbogears-not/ I wrote "Python and the One Web Framework" to put this discussion in what I think is a realistic context (ie working with a goal to "save Python" is missing the point). "What TurboGears Is Not" provides the context around what it would mean to "break" TurboGears. TurboGears already has businesses using it for real work (I met with one just last week), a book in the works, interest from hosting companies, etc. All of these people are counting on 0.9 being released soon, and 1.0 soon after that. Holding things up to try to mix in some new features seems iffy. Additiionally, not all new features are "good". We'll have to think about which features fit into the TurboGears way of doing things or can be made to feel like natural extensions of TurboGears. Before this discussion started publicly, Peter Hunt emailed me directly about this. I told him that "the devil's in the details". I'm all for cooperation and there are a few sharp people working on Subway who would be great to work with. But, we can't "break" TurboGears in the process. So, there are some initial thoughts on the idea.
