For those thinking about how SQLObject can be better, I'd recommend taking a look at SQLAlchemy and stretching where things can go *from there*. SQLAlchemy needs: 1) an SQLObject compatibility layer 2) a layer that is as easy as SQLObject for the easy stuff (ActiveMapper is almost there) 3) schema migration tools It already takes care of some of the things that people want SQLObject to do. > Speaking of widgets, it also wouldn't hurt to generate KID-html from a > widget so you can do tweaking by hand.

This was actually part of the original concept. I had imagined something in the toolbox that would let you hand it a form definition and get back the necessary Kid to drop into a template for full tweaking. You can certainly edit the template for individual widgets, but this route is more designer friendly because they have access to the whole page. (At a minimum, the Widget Browser should show you the template source so that you can copy that into your code for modification). Back on the subject of Summer of Code: there are some good ideas out there. I would encourage people to specifically state "I'd like to be a student participant" or "I'd like to be a mentor" and the types of things you'd like to work on. If we can get the right people matched up, we'll see if we can run everything through the PSF's sponsorship in the Summer of Code.
