Foundation status update
by Rob Page 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Hello everyone: We wanted to send an update on the status of the Zope Foundation. We circulated a number of documents to an advisory committee. The comments were excellent and precise. The comments also identified a number of documents that needed to be either developed or updated before we circulate the final set of documents to the community for review. This process is nearing completion. We will send the updated set of docs to the advisory committee, collect feedback, incorporated that feedback and then circulate those drafts to the community. Rough schedule: Nov 14: Circulate updated docs to advisory committee Nov 18: Feedback from committee collected Dec 25: Circulate doc set to community Thanks for your patience and attention! Regards, Rob -- Rob Page V: 540 361 1710 Zope Corporation F: 703 995 0412

zopebot on irc
by Simon Michael 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

You may have noticed a strange new metal personage hanging out in #zwiki, #zope and #zope-web: zopebot. (17:01:13) *sm:* @? (17:01:14) *zopebot:* Z.O.P.E.B.O.T.: Zombie Optimized for Peacekeeping, Efficient Battle and Online Troubleshooting at your service. I have been running for 1 week, 0 days, 16 hours, 22 minutes, and 59 seconds. Begin commands with @, or my name, or priv msg me if you are registered. To find commands: list, list <plugin>, or help <plugin> <command>. zopebot can do many things, such as search google or major zope sites, but generally it stays quiet unless you talk to it. Mainly what it does is watch rss feeds and announce interesting changes in the channel as they happen (more or less).

[ANN] TextIndexNG 3.1.0 released

Fro I am pleased to announce the release of TextIndexNG V 3.1.0. TextIndexNG V 3 is a complete new implementation based on Zope 3 technologies and can be used both in Zope 2.8 or in Zope 3. What's new? - multi-field indexing and query support - multi-lingual support - configurable converters (through ZCML) - new indexing API (allowing you to hook your custom content types with TextIndexNG through Zope 3 adapters). Changes in V 3.1.0: - added relevance ranking based on the cosine-measure - new query options 'ranking' and 'ranking_maxhits' (see doc/README.txt for details) - Plone integration: created TextIndexNG3 instance are now created to support relevance ranking out-of-the-box. The TextIndexNG3 configlet inside the Plone configuration now allows you to re-create TextIndexNG3 instances without touching the ZMI. - Plone integration: better support for indexing binary content stored as ATFile instances through providing a direct Zope 3 adapter implementation (see adapters/ plone_adapters.py). This should dramatically improve the indexing result compared to using PortalTransforms. - Plone integration: all Plone content-types are now being indexed with TextIndexNG3 out-of-the-box by the provided adapter. - Bugfix: indexing binary content no longer raises a ComponentLookupError if a corresponding converter could not be found - lots of minor fixes Requirements: - Zope 2.8+, Zope 3.1+ Download: http://sf.net/projects/textindexng Project page: http://opensource.zopyx.biz/OpenSource/TextIndexNG3 For installation and documentation issues refer to doc/README.txt from the archive.
