I'm current in the process[0] of getting the TurboGears stack up to date
for devel, which has turned into a longer process than I had hoped.
I've packaged/bumped all necessary deps for the latest alpha (0.9a9)
(see the bug for more details).

With the latest release, upstream moved the plugins
(Turbo{Json,Cheetah,Kid}, TGFastData) out of the TurboGears tarball and
has only released eggs for them.  I've been nagging upstream on a
regular basis to try and release the tarballs for these plugins, but
haven't gotten very far.

If you want to maintain these packages, that's fine with me.  If not,
I'd be happy to maintain the TG stack.  It really doesn't matter to me,
just keep in mind that I still have some work ahead of me wrt these
packages.
