Just forwarding to TG mailing list as I saw that Michael sent it two
times to the development ML instead of sending on both development and
users :)

Subject: [TurboGears] TG2 Status Update - Apr 4, 2011
To: tg-trunk <[email protected]>, tg-trunk

Tonight we bring a rather nice status update, I think.

We're almost entirely moved off of WebFaction's server. Christoph is
working on converting the 1.x docs to Sphinx. That's the last big
hurdle. In addition, this is the final time I'll be posting a status
report exclusively to the mailing list. One of the pages that I'll be
creating this week will be updated regularly as news from the TG
world. Not sure what all that will encompass, not yet, but it will be
done. But, enough of that:

What Got Done?
Actually, a lot of good stuff got done. Thanks to Diez, F. Poirotte,
and Alessandro Molina, we've improved the beta.turbogears.org website
in fairly significant ways. We turned all the static content that was
being served by Paster into static content being served by Apache. F.
Poirotte asked the right question, Diez's response explained the
problem in such a way that I finally understand it well, and
Alessandro did some work on the docs that helped show me how to do the
TW resource extraction.

I put all of that knowledge to use over the weekend, and got rid of
the /toscawidgets/resources/ in the url problem once and for all on
the new site. I'm happy.

We got trac.turbogears.org moved to the new server. Tomorrow morning,
the DNS entries will be updated.

We've gotten the /2.0/docs and /2.1/docs urls fully migrated. I've
also added in the work from Christoph to use the new theme for the 2.1
docs. Eventually, we'll merge all the docs down to 1 single set of
pages. For now, though, they can be viewed at
http://beta.turbogears.org/2.0/docs/ ,
http://beta.turbogears.org/2.1/docs ,
http://beta.turbogears.org/2.0/downloads/ ,
http://beta.turbogears.org/2.1/downloads/

I think we've reached a point where we can complete the move by the
next status update. It finally feels realistic.

Where Are We Now?
Alessandro has begun working on the tickets, and I'd like to say thank
you to him for that. Once we complete this move, I'll begin my own
work on them. Most of the functions provided by the WebFaction server
are now hosted elsewhere. It's not totally done, but it's close.

What Will Get Done This Week?
This week is, for me, mostly a focus on cleanup and content. We have a
CMS on the new server, and I intend to begin using it fully. We're
going to keep new content coming, and keep the site more alive with it
from now on.

I do have one bit of bad news, though it (hopefully) won't affect me
much: I'm in the market for a job again. Ideally in Central NJ or
Central/Eastern PA. If anybody knows of anything, I'd like to hear
about it. I'm not currently unemployed, but I do want out of where I
am.
