Those with short attention spans, can download now: * http://www.enfoldsystems.com/Products/Desktop/4/download Enfold Systems today made the first public beta release of Enfold Desktop 4, the product that makes content managers more productive by providing Windows desktop access to Plone. With version 4, Enfold Desktop for the first time will be available to all users free of charge, for use with any Plone site. You no longer have to explain to people how to get Web Folder's to work on Windows (often Web Folders does not work due to Microsofts broken implementation). Enfold Desktop just works! New features in Enfold Desktop 4 include: * Use Enfold Desktop free of charge, without limits on the number of users or server connections. * Use the Desktop client component with any Plone site; the Desktop server component is now optional. * Install and use the Desktop client on Windows Vista. * Choose the level of support that's right for you with new annual subscriptions. * Works with *ANY* DAV Server, Zope, Apache/mod_dav, IIS and Plone! Enfold Desktop 4 also includes enhancements to the usability and performance of Desktop's core features: * Save time uploading content by using drag-and-drop to move items–individually or in bulk–between the Windows desktop and Plone. * Save time editing Plone content in programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Dreamweaver or a text editor by opening items directly from the Windows file manager. * Also use the Windows file manager to quickly move content within Plone and change such metadata as name, title, description and workflow state. For a full list of changes, see the Enfold Desktop 4 page: * http://www.enfoldsystems.com/Products/Desktop/4/download Depending on user feedback, the production-ready Enfold Desktop 4.0 release should be available within a few weeks. -- Alan Runyan Enfold Systems, Inc. http://www.enfoldsystems.com/ phone: +1.713.942.2377x111 fax: +1.832.201.8856

[Ann] "dm.zdoc": "pydoc" for Zope
by Dieter Maurer 06 Jan '08

06 Jan '08

"dm.zdoc" is a tiny wrapper around "pydoc", the Python documentation generator in Python's runtime library. This wrapping makes "pydoc" available for Zope. A wrapper is necessary because Zope uses the Python package "__path__" feature which is not well supported by "pydoc". Download via "PyPi": "http://pypi.python.org/pypi/dm.zdoc/1.0" -- Dieter
