TurboGears Latest (December 7, 2005)

• Work on TurboGears 0.9 is progressing well. The new features are largely
  defined (and many are well-baked). Next up: go through the open tickets and
  get the release out:
  http://trac.turbogears.org/turbogears/roadmap
• TurboGears 0.8a5 was released to include upgrades of the included
  projects (including MochiKit 1.1 and Kid 0.8). Kid 0.8 is a must-have
  upgrade.

• Ronald Jaramillo introduced another new feature of TG 0.9:
  Model Designer. Model Designer will be a part of the Toolbox
  that will let you create SQLObject model definitions
  via easy web forms.

• Not content to have just two major Toolbox tools, Ronald also
  introduced admi18n, which helps you manage the localization and
  translation of your application.

• See TurboGears at PyCon 2006! I’ll be doing talk #11 “Effective AJAX
  with TurboGears”. Mark Ramm will be doing talk #25, a tutorial session
  on TurboGears. See you there!

• TurboGears Sprint at PyCon. Help make TurboGears better and learn more
  about what goes on under the hood by joining us for one or more days
  of sprinting immediately following the main part of the conference.
  A good time will be had by all. Sign up on this wiki page:

• diggdot.us is the first public site I’ve seen wearing the
  “TurboGears Under The Hood” logo. It’s also gotten a fair
  bit of attention (and traffic, I suspect) including a
  mention as the 3rd best mashup. Diggdot.us mashes Digg,
  Slashdot and del.icio.us/popular.

  posting.

• Bob Tanner is working on packaging TurboGears for Debian:

• TurboGears had a bike shed moment talking about a default URL
  style (more than 60 messages from more than 30 people,
  with another 10+ messages in a spinoff thread):

Ronald Jaramillo doesn’t tell me anything. He certainly didn’t tell me that he was going to build a GUI for TurboGears i18n: admi18n: Painless localization in 10 steps. Dan Jacob has been hard at work getting core i18n support for TurboGears (and that’s looking pretty nicely baked at this point). Ronald’s admi18n is a TurboGears 0.9 Toolbox GUI for simplifying the process of extracting strings and creating message files and translations for your app.

Great job, guys!
