Zope News for February 1 - 15, 2006
‘Please Guido, pick me, pick me!’ - cguardia
Last week the tides get high when GvR asks for help on selecting a python web-framework. People are falling almost over each other to present *their* favorite framework to the BDFL.
Read cguardia’s most amusing point: I blog therefore I am | Please Guido, pick me, pick me!.
The Zope Mailing lists fill up with discussions in reaction to the noise:
[Zope3-Users] Please Guido, pick me, pick me! is an interesting thread on why Zope3 is ignored by GvR and what to do now 
, [Zope3-dev] Selecting a code name is a lengthy thread on naming Zope3 and future marketing efforts.
Jeff Shell presents his vision of Zope, marketing websites and everything ([Zope3-Users] Re: Please Guido, pick me, pick me!) and Holger Froebe posts his - widely applauded - experiences with the Zope3 framework (Viva La Chipperfish » Zope vs Django - Here’s some gasoline to put out the fire).
Jim Fulton proposes to simplify component registration (Zope.org - Local Component Management Simplification / ML thread).
Shane Hathaway suggests adding an Apache-like web root to zope. Zope would serve pages out of that web root rather than an object database ([Zope3-dev] Zope 3 web root).
Norm Walsh has a point in syndication (RSS R.I.P.)
‘I refuse to escape markup. And RSS forces you to escape markup if you use it. So I’m declaring that Atom has been a standard long enough for adoption and I’m going to discontinue publishing RSS feeds.’
