While I do have commit access to the repository, unfortunately I don’t have access to fix the Kid site… Ryan Tomayko, Kid’s author, has put together a fairly simple roadmap to 1.0. Despite the dire warnings on the Kid website, Kid is not going to undergo gigantic syntax changes between now and 1.0.

Beyond that, part of the TurboGears appeal is stability and predictability in the overall suite. That means that if you’re running TurboGears 1.0, you can confidently move to 1.0.1 and expect things to work. And, you can also know that moving to 1.1 things will likely work just fine and any compatibility issues will be well-documented and hopefully very easy to deal with.

Generally speaking, that shouldn’t be too hard to achieve. But, that is part of the deal… unless you’re really interested, you don’t have to care about what happens with Kid between 0.6.4 and 1.0. Just follow TurboGears and you’ll be fine.

What are the plans for Kid? I looked at the Kid Website and saw that they are on 0.6.4 and have said that they are not going to have a stable system until 1.0. is TG going to keep pace with the changes in Kid or are you all going to fork it to meet your needs as those needs change so that TG remains stable as far as templates go.

It was a very good time At the very least we have started to build a small core of more knowledgeable TurboGears developers. I learned quite a bit about the internals of TurboGears (especially Kid) and the development process. Thanks for providing the great opportunity (and snacks and lunch ) I am looking forward to the next one…
