Yes, we didn't really do a very good job of publicizing the sprint this past weekend, or explaining what it was about. This is largely because it was designed as an experiment to see if it would be possible to write TurboGears 2.0 on top of Pylons, and was put together so quickly. TurboGears on top of Pylons is appealing for a lot of the reasons given in the original message. TurboGears and Pylons are extremely similar projects with extremely similar goals, and it makes little sense to me for both of them to duplicate so much effort. For a while, TurboGears was moving at breakneck speed from both a development and a marketing perspective, but the project has slowed down quite a bit in both aspects. I think this has a lot to do with the weight of so much code on the shoulders of very few people, a lot of which doesn't really belong in the core of a web framework. If we reduce this burden by taking advantage of what is available elsewhere, we can focus on keeping the core small, and encouraging people to build on top of it with separate projects that can take advantage of all the WSGI-goodness that we will have access to. As for where the project is headed, who knows? The experiment this past weekend was a resounding success in the eyes of all that were present, but there is still a lot to do. A frank discussion about how to move forward is probably in order, and I think that will happen very soon. -- Jonathan LaCour http://cleverdevil.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
