New version of ZStyleSheet product
by Adrian Hungate 05 May '00

05 May '00

I have finally had a chance to get my head down and really learn Python. The result is a far more feature rich product, including the ability to limit branches to only render on specific browsers, and (** Drum Roll **) the ability to import flat static css files, which ZStyleSheets will convert into a dynamic object tree for you!! Well, you may not be impressed, but I have to say that I was not fully aware of the power of Zope and Python until I try some of this stuff!! If you want to try out ZStyleSheet you can find it at http://www.zope.org/Members/haqa/ZStyleSheet Thanks for all the positive feed back on the ZClasses based versions! Enjoy...

Zope and InterBase
by Markus Kemper 05 May '00

05 May '00

Dear Zope Community, My apologies in that this is not directly a 'Zope' announcement but, I could not find a more appropriate list to post to. If there is one please guide me to it. I would like to share with you all our latest news in that we are taking InterBase 6.0 open source under the IPL (a MPL derivative). Our draft can be viewed at: http://www.interbase.com/IPL.html We expect InterBase 6.0 and the source to be officially released in the June or July time frame. Currently, the InterBase 6.0 beta for Linux, Solaris and Windows is available for download from our new site at: http://www.interbase.com/ We have been receiving a lot of requests for support of InterBase with Zope and Python. We would very much like to assist in this effort if we can. InterBase would be delighted to see full product support via Python and Zope. I believe that there exists an adaptor, python database module (at www.python.org) for interbase (Kinterbasdb 0.2, written by Alexander Kuznetsov. Again, if we can be of help in this effort we would like to do what we can to assist. Please visit our new site and let us know what you think. Kind regards, Markus Kemper InterBase Software mkemper(a)interbase.com

Early in the party were a few Netscape people cheery and looking up. They failed to notice the twent dollars lying on the floor that was to buy all my brewski's that evening. Fortunatly the Cisco buses had yet to arrive (they look everywhere).. </humour> thank you, michael patrick bolger zope/member = "merton" michael(a)lifeplant.com

www.zope.org host was off the net for 10 hours, is back
by Ken Manheimer 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

As several people have noticed, www.zope.org is back. The problem was some trivial hardware mishandling - an insufficiently seated ethernet cable. Of course, it's quite frustrating for *all* of us when the site is unavailable, and our service provider is properly contrite. We're sorry about the disruption - we don't expect it's going to happen again... Ken Manheimer klm(a)digicool.com

Zope News, Articles Welcomed
by Kevin Reichard 13 Apr '00

13 Apr '00

LinuxProgramming.com is now under the management of internet.com, home to several Linux sites (including Linux Today, Linux Planet, and LinuxStart). We're on the lookout for anything of interest to Linux and BSD programmers, and obviously Zope would fall under that category. Please share your stories of Zope: success stories, product announcements, and tutorials. We don't expect you to work for free, so in-depth tutorials will be rewarded with $$. We're working to bring Zope and other open-source tools the wider exposure they deserve, and we appreciate your help. Questions, comments, or idea can be sent to me at kreichard(a)internet.com. --Kevin Reichard Managing Editor, Linux/Open Source Channel internet.com
