I think that's a reasonable goal, and will certianly be something we want to
get done.   But  would not consider a merger without a clear shot at a much
bigger goal.
I want to work something that is:

* Technically superior to TG2 and other web frameworks in significant ways
  * Faster than TG2
  * Better tested than TG2
  * More extensible than TG2

* Better documented than TG2
  * Has centralized easy to read, easy to navigate API docs
  * Has better narative/tutorial documentaiton including docs specific to
folks who already know other technologies

* Has a bigger, more vibrant developer community
  * More third party extensions written
  * More patches, bugfixes, and other core development particupation

* Provides a platform for higher level tools like OpenID, Oauth, automatic
form generation,  MongoDB, Casandra, and Redis support, etc.

* Has less backwards incompatible changes over time than we have up to this
point

I know it's saying a lot, but it is my belief that a merger with pylons, and
building on top of pyramid actually provides us with a very good chance of
achieving all six of these goals.   And more than that, it's already there
on several of them.
