Using Alternate Session Factories
---------------------------------
-At the time of this writing, alternate session factories don't yet
-exist. It is our intent that we will soon provide at least one other
-session factory which will be easily installable: one that uses the
-`Beaker <http://beaker.groovie.org/>`_ library as a backend.
+At the time of this writing, exactly one alternate session factory
+implementation exists, named ``pyramid_beaker``. This is a session
+factory that uses the `Beaker <http://beaker.groovie.org/>`_ library
+as a backend. Beaker has support for file-based sessions, database
+based sessions, and encrypted cookie-based sessions. See
+`http://github.com/Pylons/pyramid_beaker
+<http://github.com/Pylons/pyramid_beaker>`_ for more information about
+``pyramid_beaker``.
