Zen of TurboGears?

[Chris Cioffi]

Now that I've had the chance to both go through the book and update my app I'm starting to add TurboGear-ism to my toolbox of Python idioms and I was wondering if there was any interest in creating a Zen of TG page along the lines of 'import this' in Python?

These aren't as pithy as import this but here are some of my highlights:
-Widgets rock, put anything you show the user in a widget
-model.py - DB defs, tiggers and stored procedures all in one place
-Anything other than the most trivial project should use a controllers package

The more I think about them, TG Widgets are just about the coolest web app building technology I've seen.  Ever.

- When the one obvious way depends on the situation, give choices.
- Every time you give choices, give defaults
- Batteries included is great
- Batteries with easy and free delivery from the cogbin is about as
good
- Single command installation is awesome
- Getting that for your app for free is better
- Yes, I do "do my little turn on the CatWalk"
