I've created a SourceForge project for ZODB development: http://sourceforge.net/projects/zodb/ A page of development-related links that will be updated as needed is at: http://www.amk.ca/zodb/devel.html The goal of this project isn't to create a fork of the ZODB code, or to make many modifications to the core ZODB packages. Instead it will focus on the surrounding tools, packaging and documentation, aiming to make the ZODB more useful for people who want to use it as an object oriented database for Python. For example, we're using it to store (Developers who want to hack on the core ZODB packages must make such sensitive changes on a CVS branch; the trunk will track DC's version of the ZODB code.) --amk
