Hey Gilbert,

It's quite a coincidence that this would come up now as I have just started 
working on a Turbogears/Python powered rpg framework. It's hardly the 
most unique of projects but It's my response to the "lack" of rpg games for 
ubuntu.

Rather then develop a ubuntu-centric desktop game (which I have no 
experience with what-so-ever) I decided learning python web-dev would work 
well because once it's complete, it could be shipped to users to even run 
localhost without the need of a full lamp server. As a bonus, once the basic 
framework is finished it'll be a great testbed for people to learn python too 
because it will be as modular as possible.

If anyone would be interested in hacking at it together, I'd very much like a 
hand because I'm far from an expert turbogears and I intend for it to be 
open-source regardless.
