[Comments] (3) Empowering the power users:

In my last article I talked about the problems that occur on the borderland between content and software, but didn't give enough examples. I figured I'd add some more text about this very important topic.

[Comments] (7) The borderland between content and software:

Paul Everitt writes:

In the early days of Zope, you could design content "TTW" (through the web). You could answer questions about structure and suddenly, you had new kinds of content -- YOUR content -- that could be added to folders in the system. No programmers were involved, no special login permissions on the server, no database schemas to update.

[Comments] (1) Five-based i18n in Silva checked in (PTS Delenda Est):

Last summer the Five project pulled Zope 3's i18n architecture into the Zope 2 world, thanks to work done by Philipp von Weitershausen, Lennart Regebro and others (please forgive me if I forget someone!).

[Comments] (8) Tramline source code now available:

At the Plone conference 2005 I gave a lightning talk about tramline, a lightweight up and download accelator for web applications. Now at last I've found some time to put the source code online. This is not a proper release yet, but it's there for interested people to take a look at it.

hurry library in the Zope 3 base:

Since various people were curious to see especially the little query language we wrote on top of the Zope 3 catalog, I've just put up the generic libraries we developed for documentlibrary project online, at least in svn in the Zope 3 base at codespeak, here:

[Comments] (1) extended catalog queries in Zope 3:

Yesterday I managed to build something in just a few hours in Zope 3 that I wouldn't have been able to build so easily in Zope 2. What I've built is an extended query system for the Zope 3 catalogs.

[Comments] (2) How to delay a Zope release:

Jim Fulton, today, on the Zope-3 dev list:

Now that that the decision has been made to include Zope 3 in Zope 2.8, I'd really prefer that Zope 2.8 use X3.1 code, not X3.0 code. In general, having code shared by Zope 2 and Zope 3 will complicate deprecation, probably increasing the length of time we must keep backward-compatibility code. I'd like to try to keep the Zope 3 code used in Zope 2 and the Zope 3 code used in Zope 3 in sync as much as possible.

[Comments] (10) Fixing the Zope release process:

In this article, I will identify problems with the Zope release strategy, attribute blame, propose solutions, and offer some hope for the future.

Criteria for evaluating specifications:

As Andrew Tannenbaum said, "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from." Apparently he followed this up by: "And if you really don't like all the standards you just have to wait another year until the one arises you are looking for."
