Hi,

What do we gain from moving to authkit for tg2 over the existing

authentication system.

What do we lose?


This is unclear at the moment. People have outlined a few things you can't
do (like checking if a user is in any one of a list of groups), but they
seem like pretty rare cases.

can anyone comment on

Probably a bigger can of worms than you want to take on right now.

You'd want to install AuthKit as WSGI middleware, between the CP WSGI server
and the CP WSGI application. This would mean tampering with SimpleWSGIServer
in turbogears.startup. This might just work (great!) or you might need all
sorts of other tweaks.
