Given that SQLObject is the TurboGears ORM of choice it's surprising that 
there's so little noise on the mailing list.  I recently posted there asking if 
there was going to be a 8.0 release but no reply.  I get the feeling that 
development on the project has all but dried up.

Some of the framework tools now rely on it (CatWalk etc).  The author (Ian 
Bicking) has pretty much abandoned the current version in favour of a rewrite.  
AFAIK, no indication of a time frame for replacement yet.

Alternatively, SQLAlchemy looks very nice indeed - feature rich and powerful.  
But if Kevin wants to keep SQLObject in the picture then I feel that for my 
part moving to it isn't helping the TG effort.  It's harder to evangalise the 
framework if you have to say that you ripped the ORM out because it wasn't up 
to scratch.

I know a few other people on here feel a similar way about the situation.  So, 
I guess what I'm asking is what can we do about our ORM weakness?
