To echo this sentiment, and hopefully add something useful from an
inexperienced user, one area that I would like to see focus on is "best
practices"; cookbook sort of stuff. As I've been learning TG, I have
basically been playing with different techniques based on what I
already know about Python and HTML / CSS, and the little things I'm
picking up about KID and SQLObject. The bottom line being that after
all that wandering and munging, I've come up with stuff that works, but
is surely sub-optimal in a variety of ways or will break spectaculary
later because I'm not fully considering or aware of the complete
implications of my design choices.

For instance, I'm semi-stuck with my current project because I can't
get a select box to allow multiple selections for a many-many relation.
The obvious solution of adding "multiple" attribute to the select tag
just gets me a nice backtrace becuse Kid doesn't apparently like
that... This is an obvious and common usage case, so there surely
there's a known "good way to do it".

Speakig of Kid backtraces, a quick guide to interpreting the backtrace
information that comes up in the browser when something goes sideways
would be useful. For example, I've figured out that a backtrace that
finishes with a complaint that the template I'm using couldn't be found
means that I have an error in that template. However, a lot of the
backtrace information is somewhat unintelligable to someone who does
not have experience with the components of TG.
