Some of the core developers met right before Fosdem and discussed this 
too ( 
https://bitbucket.org/conservancy/kallithea/wiki/DeveloperMeeting2016January 
).

We agree that it seems like a very good match. TurboGears seems like the 
best way forward for Kallithea. Thanks for proposing it. We have put it 
on the roadmap ( https://bitbucket.org/conservancy/kallithea/wiki/Home ) 
and encourage everybody to work on making that happen.

We want TG ... but we also don't want to be left with our development 
branch with neither Pylons nor TurboGears working. We can do preparatory 
work on the main branch but would like to see a fully working TG port on 
a dev branch before we switch.

I expect further experiments on the kallithea-tg branch to  show how we 
could change and refactor Kallithea to make a switch to TG easier. Such 
changes should be upstreamed on the main Kallithea development branch 
ASAP while still using Pylons. The first goal for Kallithea on TG should 
be to towards making a minimal (and thus optimally reviewable) PR for 
switching from Pylons to TG. Later we can remove compatibility hacks and 
really start utilizing TG.
