Hello everyone: We have done a fair bit of work in the last few weeks to address some of the community's recent concerns. In summary we've taken (or about to take) the following steps: - organized ourselves internally to start the process of involving the community in the ongoing development, operations and maintenance of Zope.org. You can find details on this effort at: - http://www.zope.org/About Related to this are two new documents explaining the site's service terms and privacy policy: - http://www.zope.org/TOS/TermsOfService - http://www.zope.org/TOS/Privacy - organized ourselves internally and developed some new procedures for managing trademark licenses. You can find details online at: - http://www.zope.com/Legal/TMProcedures In addition, we are going to experiment with a few mechanisms at improving the regularity, predictability and quality of communication we have with the Zope community. The first such experiment will be an IRC session as follows: - Tuesday, Dec 16, 2003, 11a-12p (US/EST GMT-5) on irc.zope.com in #zope-community Zope reps on the IRC session will include Rob Page, Jim Fulton, Brian Lloyd, Jens Vagelpohl and Shane Hathaway. We hope you can join us!
