I have to say that I have recently played quite a bit with Flask and in the past I got some experience with TG2. Pyramid would be new to me, but looking at the latest app from Luke, it does not look very far from TG2 and I think I would not be too lost. > So, for TG1 apps thats: > > mirrormanager > packagedb > fas > elections > bodhi > > One thing that might also weigh into this is existing porting work > thats already been done to TG2.

One thing to consider as well is which of these apps have to be port to the "bells and whistles framework"(© Toshio). From this list of TG1 app, Ian is working on a Flask version of elections and there was a question on the portability of MM to Flask as well (ie: light weight framework). This leaves us with: - packagedb - fas - bodhi >From which bodhi should be removed in a not so long term with the release of bodhi 2.0. The last two (FAS and packagedb) have not had any attempt to port to another framework (that I know off at least), so for these two the choices of the framework is free. In summary, my 2cts are: I know Flask and I quite liked working with it for light weight application. I know TG2, but I am fine to try pyramid if it's the preferred way to go.
