I would give the new window maintainer a local Manager role in this case...so who is willing to care about the future Windows build? I would like to see a longer commitment for this job.

Release schedule and deprecation decisions
by Jim Fulton 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

A while ago, we had some discussion on when to make releases and how long to support deprecated features. The discussion has died down so I'll summarize what I think the conclusions were: - We'll move releases up one month to may and November from June and December. This means that the next release is scheduled for May and the next feature freeze is April 1. - We will support deprecated features for 1 year. I consider there to be decisions. :) Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered! CTO (540) 361-1714 http://www.python.org Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com http://www.zope.org

In case your file is to be taken as the Zope-2.9.1 windows release i'd need it at the Zope-2.9.1 release folder and not at your member folder. How can we proceed ?

Don't be. :-) It is the first step of actually making zope.app *much* smaller. This in turn will mean that you might be able to develop apps without relying on zope.app at all, which is better for you, since you can control the installed components better. I think by finding a good packaging solution and staying the path of reducing zope.app we will achieve what you want. :-) Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter CBU Physics & Chemistry (B.S.) / Tufts Physics (Ph.D. student) Web2k - Web Software Design, Development and Training
