Zope News for October 1 - 31, 2006
You might have noticed that I’ve omitted the last posting and combined 4 weeks into one issue. Its getting harder to find news atm, maybe you should start volunteering the newsletter now ? Check here on how to help… - d2m
Zope.org moves all zope-dev wikis to a new location/server at wiki.zope.org. Simon Michael of ZWiki fame dedicates quite a few hours to make that possible - thank you very much.
Zope 3 wiki moves there too and gets a great new layout thanks to Kevin Teague, based on the skin Tom Von Lahndorff created for the new Zope Foundation website. ZopeWiki.org is also available now from the new domain as wiki.zope.org/zope2.
Philipp von Weitershausen proposes to feature-freeze the Products.Five package and basically keep making it work (shrink it) for future Zope versions. Read the thread at [z3-five] RFC: The future of Products.Five.
Ian Bicking - working on OpenPlans (based on zope/plone) - looks into zope3 too. In his Zope 3 Critique he joins the latest developer discussion with some nice observations, like on zope3 adaption…
“If it quacks like a duck it’s probably a duck. Lots of uses of adaptation don’t quack; I don’t know what they all are, but they aren’t ducks.”
Worth reading anyway.
