Hi I am finally trying to get my old production tg1.0 webapp going in
the 1.1 generation.
Good idea. You should also consider moving further to TG 1.5 once your
app is running on 1.1.
I can't find a guide or tips or procedure for updating a 1.0 app. Does
anyone have any pointers?

Right now its failing on genshi not finding any .html templates. This is
because my 145 templates are .kid files.
1. Do I just change their names to .html and voila?
No. You need to change some more things. Btw, there is a tg-admin
command that does the simple things for you, like renaming .kid to .html
It's best explained here:
http://docs.turbogears.org/1.5/Upgrade#replacing-kid-with-genshi
2. Is there a way to make Genshi look for .kid files without changing
the filenames?
No, and I don't think it's a good idea.
3. Is there a way to have 1.1.1 use kid instead? How do I configure
that? is there a separate download required? I'm on ubuntu 10.04
with python-turbogears package which installs 1.1.1-ubuntu
That's absolutely possible and I recommend it as a first step when
converting to 1.1 or 1.5. Since Genshi is now the default, the only
thing you need to do is tell TG explicitely to use Kid instead by
setting tg.defaultview = 'kid' in your app.cfg file.
If you move to 1.5 and are using Kid for TG widget templates, you should
also put a kid: prefix to your widget templates.

4. What if any issues/problems should I expect having Genshi parse these
145 pretty complex kid templates?
If your templates use only the "standard" directives like py:if,
py:content etc. I don't expect problems. What's different is primarily
the inheritance mechanism, so you will need to make some changes to your
master.html as explained in the link above.
Thanks very much for any assistance. Given the complexity of my app
this is a scary task. Maybe someone can reassure me it's going to be
a breeze and give me a few key tips to smooth the process.
I've already migrated two web apps with a similar complexity from Kid to
Genshi and it was not a big deal. What's much more challenging is
migrating from SQLObject to SQLAlchemy if you want to do that.
