In drupal, with TG. ;-)
This would be very interesting to see working. I've seen that it is possible to get CakePHP apps working with drupal haven't experienced it myself. I just get so irritable when writing php code so I tend to avoid it. :) I should suck it up though, and quit being such a baby. Feel free to email me offline, I'll be happy to help where I can, you may feel like your dragging me along through turbogears though.
