Toolbox thoughts for IRC Chat

[Ronald Jaramillo]

Hi,
This may be relevant for those of you planning to join the chat
tomorrow.
I'm not sure if we will be talking about Toolbox, but in case we are,
I made a couple of mock-up screens.
Check them out here:

Cheers
Ronald

Thanks =)

However the flashy icons are part of the Tango project (http://tango-project.org/Tango_Desktop_Project)

The have a set of guidelines for how icons they should look like for gnome apps, and this are samples 

from their library. Quite nice, indeed!

All I can say is... I want this!

Very nice!

Keep going this way and TG is gonna kick the snot out of Django and
Rails! (Maybe we can even take down the mighty Zope!) ;-P

Very pleasant looking indeed.

There is one thing I am wondering, is it true that we have a
proportationally higher percentage of Mac users/developers on TurboGear
which could be a contributing factor for the clean and pleasant
layout(say catwalk) ?

A feature request about catwalk:

Would it be possible to add a "generate model code" feature in catwalk
? For those who have their model definition all done in TurboGears,
this may sounds redundent but for people who use existing RDBMS(where
the definition is already done by some DBA), this can be handy.

I have an usage scenario that the app use centralized postgresql
database(thus the _fromdatabase in SQLObject is very hande) but I need
a shrinked portable version using SQLite(so the apps can be put on a
notebook for demo) which SQLObject doesn't have the _fromdatabase
feature. It ends up I still need to hand code all the columns
definitions for SQLObject class. Syncing between the centralized DB
definition and this becomes an issue.

I added a ticket for it (Ticket #124) , this issue will be covered
(inderectly) by version 2.0 of CatWalk.
The idea is that you will be able to design your model in CatWalk and
it will generate your model code.
Model code generation base on SQLObject classes, will cover your use
case as well.

Cheers.
