You are correct that its porting to something that we'll later have to port
again.  However, one thing I've found in open source is that there are no
platforms where you can write something and never have to port again.

So, for me, it's a question of how long we'll be able to remain on TG2
before we have to port again.  If we can get three years out of it, that
would be acceptable, I think.  If we can get five years that would be
awesome.

That's basically what TurboGears 3 will be.  But my understanding is both
pyramid and TG3 are still figuring out what they're going to look like in
the next year.

That would be great!  If you use IRC, I'm abadger1999 on irc.freenode.net.
I'll get you started porting elections to TG2 and get you sponsored into
whatever groups are necessary.
