Planet Zope blog

Hey, after a 2 week hiatus PlanetZope is aggregating again - thanks for bearing with us, btw.

Thing is, that after more than 50K iterations - PlanetZope aggregates hourly since 2004 - the ZODB switched itself into a state of eternal contemplation, accepting no more PUTs or POSTs.

Anyway, the new aggregator is up again - built from a lot of black duct tape, python, cron and Google Ajax Feed API.

PlanetZope is a filtering aggregator, current keywords are ['bluebream', 'cmf', 'grok', 'planetzope', 'plone', 'repoze', 'zodb', 'zope', 'zope2', 'zope3', 'ztk']

Feel free to contact me at d2m for requests.

A lot of postings about the new Repoze development/deployment environment were made during the last week, making Repoze the hot-spot on planetzope.org (besides the recently released Plone3) and as such got added to the planetzope feeds-filter permanently.

About ‘Repoze’: the website has it like ‘Plumbing Zope into the WSGI Pipeline‘, that is enabling production-grade deployments of Zope and Plone into a WSGI environment and allowing other Python WSGI applications to use Zope technologies as middleware.

Publicly announced last week - the release numbers are in the 0.2.x range - it looks stable. As a big plus they are eating their own dogfood by running the website, a pyblosxom blog, a roundup tracker, a mailman mailinglist and a plone3 demo website from Repoze, all themed by deliverance WSGI filter.

With recent plone package uploads cluttering the python package index i decided to temporary remove the cheeseshop rss feed from planet zope - until i find a rule to handle this sort of news in a better way.

Thank you for listening.

Switched ISP … sorry for the downtime - planetzope.org is visible again.
