Four years ago today, September 17, Kevin Dangoor first announced TurboGears to the world, along with the now infamous "20 minute wiki" tutorial [1]. In the time since then TG has evolved considerably, from enhancements & bug fixes to changes in default components.
These improvements have come through the hard work & dedication of a large team of commiters & community members. Please join me in thanking the TurboGears team for their efforts on our behalf. While you're at it, give yourself a pat on the back for keeping up on this list & your contributions to the community. Every single contribution is important & valuable! So, at great risk & fear of leaving someone out, I'd like to single out some of the key players who have particularly earned my respect and admiration during the last four years.
