I'm really stoked for TG2. I work with numerous TurboGears applications each day and for a while tried to get into TG development to help the cause. Unfortunately I hopped in right when most of the test cases in the trunk of TG stopped working and I (and my roommates who were also helping) became overwhelmed. May your work on providing stability in the storm of TG2 help provide an entry point for new developers! I know I'd love to help! Congratulations! I’m really stoked for TG2.

With repoze.who it was quite easy to support different types of users which are stored in different database tables. So with repoze.who you are really a lot more flexible than with the old identity. The only thing I'm missing currently (not sure if tgrepozewho has some code for it) that you can configure the authentication mechanisms by using the TurboGears configuration system. On the other hand this is no requirement for my current project so I never bothered writing some code for this feature.
