How would you plan on having the widgets communicate changes back? That
is the real issue. Taking an existing widget and marking it for edit in
place behavior is trivial, just have to add the class "inplace" to your
form element.

As for handling communications back to TG, that is where things get
interesting. I think this is why there are no existing widgets to
handle this, as there are simply too many options. Do you send the raw
HTML back to turbogears? What about the previous HTML? If not that,
then how do you format changes in a way that is intelligible. What
about additional information that helps you figure out what a change on
the page is related to? Interesting problem, far too many solutions.

That said you could put together a widget that automatically handles
including the edit in place javascript library pretty easily. With a
bit of interesting hacking could get it to re-render its own template
as an editable form when it is sent out to the page. That would save at
least some of the trouble. Since TinyMCE is also available as a widget
it would probably be a snap to hook that up to the whole thing. Then
the only tricky part is sorting out backend communications for your
specific needs.
