TurboGears and Pylons will merge! (and CleverHarold RIP)

Mark Ramm, one of TurboGears‘s core developers announced on TurboGears’s mailing list that they will merge with Pylons! To be more precise, the API of TurboGears will be implemented on top of Pylons.

HOWTO Installation of OpenWRT on a WGT634U usb router

Before the 7.06 stable version of OpenWRT there were many problems for making USB audio working on this exceptional router (the only one I know with a USB port).
