Zopistas! During my last project I drowned myself in work and didn't really have time to contribute much to the community, or to keep track of what has been going on. Things are better now, so I have some time to read the lists, and post every now and then. One thing I missed greatly, when I was drowning myself, was to be able to get a snapshot of what's been going on with Zope lately. What's the major architectural changes; have the community mob been out to hang anyone; any major bugs or upsets; new Fishbowl proposals, and the like. Information that gets me up-to-speed whenever I have time. ZWN is quite good, but it doesn't give the developer an idea of what API changes has been made or what little new thing that will make our lives so much easier - that's the kind of things I'd like to see showing up in the summaries. Michael Hudson's <URL:http://starship.python.net/crew/mwh/summaries/> have been a great success in doing this for python-dev, and Zope-Dev Summaries is basically trying to copy that effort. Sure, ZopeZen, ZopeNewbies, ZWN, all the mailinglists, ZopeFish, and many other good zope-sites out there provide good information and fun in the context of Zope, but I can't see that any of them is to Zope, what python-dev summaries are to Python (of course, if you see it differently I'd like to hear about it - duplication isn't something I like throwing time at). If anyone wants to help out and write a summary or two every now and then, please e-mail me and I'll be happy to share the fun! :) Summaries can be found here: <URL:http://nittin.net/erik/summaries/> Oh, and go easy on me, this is the first summary and the next one will be better. Comments are greatly appretiated :)
