Kube 1.0 (final) released
by Isaac Levy 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

THE KUBE PRODUCT IS OUT OF BETA, after extensive and positive use. Kubes are Metadata containers created for use with Zope Page Templates. More information on Kube use can be found in this downloadable PDF, http://informatikburo.net/Kube/Kube1.0_overview.pdf a bit more... -- The Zope Aquisition model is very powerfull, and Kubes leverage it's 'sliding' behavior by acting as a single 'document' with content existing as 'hookable' metadata (properties and file objects). This enables user to get the core functtionality of a SQL database, but using the Zope Object Database- (therefore the data object is completely extensible, movable, and mallieable- all in real time, with live data.) Kubes should speed the development of data-driven, ZPT based applications and websites considerably. The default data types for Kubes are oriented around a publishing-model 'story content unit' idea, but can be changed to accomodate whatever data you want to put in them! -- Best- Isaac Isaac Levy + Office of Structured Systems http://structuredsystems.net
