"""
If all it takes to make a good post is to remind people that
more/better
documentation is needed, I just set up a daily reminder post and become
poster-of-the-week for the next year or so. Because that is true for
nearly every project alive, FOSS or commercial.

Well, in contrast to his usual style, I think it was a pretty
constructive post.

That said, and with a reminder upfront that I really appreciate the
hard work and labor of love that TurboGears devs have contributed, TG
documentation definitely trails projects like RoR.

I have worked with both, and though I had Python experience but no Ruby
experience, I found RoR much easier to pick up, largely because, as
Ilias pointed out, I could "go to" and not "search for".  The API docs
for RoR are great.

With TG, it seems like I am forever fumbling around for a mini-howto on
a wiki somewhere when what I need is reference documentation at a known
location.

The book, which I purchased as soon as it was available, is a great
help.  If I had that and good API reference docs, I'd be happy as a
clam.  (If I had "TurboGears in a Nutshell", along the lines of "Python
in a Nutshell", I'd be in seventh heaven.) ;-)

I truly hope that this does not come off like a whine because it is not
intended to.  But spades is spades and TG docs are presently behind the
curve.
