Announcing zopewiki.org !
by Simon Michael 04 Apr '04

04 Apr '04

Hi all, I've set up a general-purpose Zope wiki at http://zopewiki.org . The blurb says: "This is a public wiki site for Zope , the open source web application server. Zope documentation has historically been scattered and hard to update. zopewiki.org aims to provide a single, simple, user-owned Zope documentation site to tie it all together." I have been wanting something like this for some time. At one time I thought it had to be on zope.org, but not now. It's time to stick my own neck out and risk public humiliation. I hope you'll all get involved and we can fix this accursed zope documentation problem. :)

Zwiki 0.29 released, news roundup
by Simon Michael 02 Apr '04

02 Apr '04

Good day all.. Zwiki 0.29 has been released. Summary: bugfixes for Zope 2.7 & Plone 2, skin tweaks. This is the first release since the wave of python 2.3, zope 2.7 and plone 2.0 hit, and hopefully you will find it more solid. http://zwiki.org , http://zwiki.org/ReleaseNotes . zwiki.org has moved to a new server with more memory and is much happier. You should find it faster and more stable. I hope to keep it that way. Also there is a new sponsorship page at http://zwiki.org/ZwikiFunding . Please take a look and consider sponsoring me or another developer, if you'd like to see this product improve more quickly and sustainably. Especially if it is helping your business (and I hope it is). Development started slow this month but picked up towards the end, with contributions from Bob McElrath and Cyrille Lebeaupin. Bob is doing good work as LatexWiki patch maintainer and he has just made a compatible release. Many people have helped with issue tracking, as usual - thank you. #zwiki channel activity is on the increase. After four years, I've realized I don't need to keep fighting with zope.org content objects. :) zwiki.org is now the official home of Zwiki releases and news. Ditto for trusty-but-time-consuming CVS. As of now I am switching to darcs as primary revision control system and considering CVS to be frozen. Please see http://zwiki.org/ZwikiDarcs for new how-tos and discussion. I hope this will enable simpler and more rapid exchange of patches, translations, etc. Quite a month! Spring cleaning. Will I be able to keep working on zwiki in the coming months ? I don't know. I hope so. :) <>Zwiki is a flexible, powerful, GPL wiki engine for Zope, supporting hierarchy, wysiwyg editing, dynamic pages, issue tracking, email integration, and more. Visit zwiki.org to learn all about it. Good health, -Simon

Kupu 1.0.3 released
by Philipp von Weitershausen 01 Apr '04

01 Apr '04

=================== Kupu 1.0.3 Released =================== 1 April 2004 As of now, the in-browser WYSIWYG editor formerly known as epozNG has a new name: Kupu! Even though it was never the intention, the Epoz WYSIWYG editor development had split in 2 branches, confusing both developers and users. Hopefully the new name settles this confusion. What is Kupu? ------------- Kupu is a client-side JavaScript What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor. It works in both Mozilla and Internet Explorer based browsers (including Netscape 7) and produces well-formed XHTML. Kupu is object oriented and designed to be customizable and extendable. The Past -------- Last year, a small team of developers started working on a full rewrite of the Epoz product written by Maik Jablonski, with the objective to provide a WYSIWYG editor for Infrae's document management system Silva [2]. Maik wasn't interested in continuing development of his version and didn't join the team in the rewrite, but he was fine with the team using the name. However, consequent bugfixes and enhancements, mostly coming from Plone [3], still went into the old Epoz, leaving us with two actively developed versions. This led to much confusion. In January 2004, Michael Wechner, president of OSCOM (Open Source Content Management) [4] proposed to make epozNG an official OSCOM project. This proposal was welcomed by the development team. As part of the move to OSCOM, it was agreed to change epozNG's name to end the confusion, and to change the license from ZPL to something less Zope-specific, BSD. After two months of brainstorming and endless name suggestions, the team finally decided. Thanks to Eric Casteleijn for "Kupu". Kupu is Maori and means "word, statement, remark". The Present ----------- A new name, a new license, a new website [1], and it's time for a new release. Since epozNG left off at 1.0.2, the first Kupu release is 1.0.3. It's not a major release, mainly containing small bugfixes, but it's a milestone. The Future ---------- The future of Kupu seems bright. Currently it provides a host of features for a WYSIWYG editor, and works in both IE and Mozilla based browsers. We intend to continue in that direction. The Kupu developers focus on standards and high quality code as well as new technologies. We plan to steadily improve Kupu, and bring it to maturity without losing its clean design and comprehensible codebase. Thanks to --------- - Michael Wechner and OSCOM for providing a new home - Holger Krekel and Codespeak for the invaluable support - Infrae for support - The guys at ETH Zürich for inspiration - Eric for "Kupu" - Manos Batsis for Sarissa and for letting us distribute it under the Kupu License - Henri Bergie for setting us up with http://kupu.oscom.org - Jan Smith for testing and finding bugs On behalf of the Kupu Contributors Guido Wesdorp, Philipp von Weitershausen, Paul Everitt Links ----- [1] http://kupu.oscom.org [2] http://www.infrae.com/products/silva [3] http://plone.org [4] http://oscom.org

Ape 0.8 Released
by Shane Hathaway 29 Mar '04

29 Mar '04

Ape version 0.8 is ready. Ape now works with Zope 2.7 and can store the root database. The number of concepts in Ape has been reduced, making it easier to learn and extend. Ape, the Adaptable Persistence Engine, adapts Python objects to storage on the filesystem, in relational databases, or practically anywhere else. It combines the advantages of transparent object persistence with arbitrary databases and formats. Ape comes with two default mapper configurations, a Zope2-filesystem mapper and a Zope2-SQL mapper. http://hathaway.freezope.org/Software/Ape/ Shane
