So, here's my crazy idea.   Let's throw a giant TG2 sprint/party one
weekend in January, and do it at various places all around the world
on the same weekend.

I'll host one in Ann Arbor somewhere, and perhaps some other people
can sponsor them in their cities.    After talking to a couple people
directly it looks like the best date for this might be the 12th and
13th of January.

I'd also like to have a bit of a mini-sprint on the 5th of January to
get organized and ready for the main event the following weekend.

TurboGears 2 already has a number of shiny new features:

* super-shiny web based interactive debugging tools
* web sessions, backed by DB, memcached, filesystem, or encrypted cookie storage
* controller level caching via a simple decorator, thanks to beaker
backed data storage
* WSGI compliant goodness
* object dispatch now allows you to instantiate new objects based on
URL data, and continue dispatch on them

We've also got some unmeasured, but noticeable out of the box
performance improvements in TG2.

But there's still lots to do:

* Setup authentication/authorization (either port Identity or do
something new.)
* Port things like the paginate decorator
* Clean up the paster-template so a quickstarted project looks nicer.
* Copy over some Pylons docs, edit to make them TG style, and validate
that the work.
* Write sample applications, and file bug-reports on anything that doesn't work
* Do code review, refactoring, and improvements on related projects.

I think we have an oportunity to take the technical lead in the
"dynamic web framework" world.   We'll have a high-powered ORM that
nobody can match, an automatic CRUD tool that's more powerful and
flexible than anything else out there.

If you're up for helping to make an in person sprint happen in your
area, let me know and I'll help out in whatever way I can.
