Hi Ben,

I mean no offence to Ian and the other contributors who have put hard work into SQLObject, because the code is probably fine, but it's just not well-documented enough to be thrust into a framework like this without someone taking up the slack when it comes to explaining its usage. Turbogears has to assume some responsibility for its dependencies.
while I agree with you that TurboGears' documentation is lacking in many fields and SQLObject's is a primary example for this, you always have to keep in mind that these things don't spring into existence from nowhere. If you say "TurboGears has to have this or has do that" you're speaking of it, as if it was some kind of company or similar. But TG is an Open Source project, and that means that it lives from the work of its contributors, each of which have their own reasons and motivations to share their work. Without the work of these people nothing will happen. (btw, that's a general wisdom to remember: "it's all about people" ;-)) "TG cannot be taken seriously if it does not have this or that *enterprise* grade feature!" I hear you say, yet it is also a fact, that there are people using TG successfully to build enterprise grade websites. Let's put our energy in implementing missing features and documentation instead of arguing why it's a bad thing that this and that feature/documentation is missing!
