Yep, good call.

I'd like to have it in beta testing phase by F14, but we'll see how that 
goes.

The current tg2 branch has the entire model ported to SQLAlchemy, with a 
variety of improvements, and a lot of the test suite is ported over as 
well.  The next step is to port the controllers & templates.  I've been 
holding off on doing this for little while, as I have been doing a lot 
of bugfixing in the current branch, and I want to avoid having two 
out-of-sync code bases.  However, we're pretty much at the point where 
I'm about ready to freeze the current branch and start porting the 
controllers over in the very near future.
