I worked more on a TourManager application for working with TourXML. It is written using TurboGears (although I also have some code in Pylons). So far it is not much, but I am hopeing things will progress quickly. I am pretty excited to use TurboGears because I found that the author, Kevin Dangoor, created TurboGears to support a desktop app. When I first started as a web developer and began working with Linux, the idea of creating desktop apps in PHP that simply ran on Apache and through a web browser seemed like a good idea. While forcing a user to have Apache is a bit steep, a small Python server seems very reasonable and simple to implement. Once TourManager is working alright, I am planning on making an XML-RPC entry point on the Ume site for keeping the upcoming show up to date.
