I'm not so sure about this idea. Benevolent dictators are always going to be 10 times more efficient than democracy. I just think we need to improve the consultitive process and have some focus on what is really trying to be achieved. I aggree that the changes to Zope have been way to slow but then again Zope is going in 5 directions at once which is not a good idea esp if none of those ways work togeather. Perhaps more transparency of the DC's strategies for where zope is going would be good. Also transparency of the criteria by which we should be evaluating new proposals.

Zope BackTalk Working Session Invite
by Chris McDonough 20 Jun '01

20 Jun '01

(details also available via http://www.mindview.net/Seminars/BackTalkWorkingSession/) INTRODUCTION If you're a seasoned Zope, Python, or collaborative technology developer, you're invited to Crested Butte, Colorado between July 7 (Sat) - 10th (Tues) to help in a "working session" which has as a goal developing a 1.0 version of a "BackTalk" implementation for Zope. The working session is primarily a time for quickly iterating against an existing implementation, adding features and hardening as we go. If you come, you'll have an opportunity to meet other Zope and Python developers and have some fun hacking around on a neat project. This is *not* a seminar or teaching exercise, and thus is unstructured. We'll likely use some of the concepts from Extreme Programming (pairing, short iterations, etc), to keep us busy during the working session. Ideally, participants will have built Zope Products in the past. COST Free WHO WILL BE ATTENDING - Bruce Eckel (President, MindView, and author of Thinking In (Java|C++) and other books) - Chris McDonough (developer, Digital Creations) - You! WHAT IS BACKTALK "BackTalk" is an annotation and collaboration system devised by Bruce Eckel and Bill Venners. It is described at http://www.mindview.net/Books/BackTalk and http://www.mindview.net/Private/BackTalk . It is first and foremost a system which allows for inline commenting on prestructured content. It is close in sprit to systems such as Crit (http://www.crit.org) and Andamooka (http://www.andamooka.org) ** note: although the MindView documentation talks about BackTalk as nonfree software, it is describing the Java implementation. The Zope software produced as a result of the working session will be free ** BackTalk has two major design goals: - dramatically lower the bar for readers to provide inline comments on booklike content. - provide mechanisms for original document authors to fold contributions in the way of comments into the mainline document. IMPLEMENTATION GOALS Produce a Zope implementation of BackTalk which makes use of Zope-only features such as Structured Text (http://cmf.zope.org/doc/user/UsingStructuredText.txt/view) and the Zope object database [ZODB] (http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Articles/ZODB1) A prototype Zope implementation is (hopefully) accessible at http://serenade.4-am.com/BackTalkSandbox/ . If you have difficulty accessing the prototype, please let me know via email (it's a development box). IMPLEMENTATION HIT LIST (we might need you if you know anything about...) - BackTalk "back/forward" navigation system (DTML/Python) - BackTalk document end-of-document index generation (Python) - Table of contents generation (DTML/Python) - RTF-to-StructuredText converter (Python/C/whatever) - BackTalk-to-RTF converter (Python) - BackTalk-to-PDF converter (Python) - Javascript form elements (JavaScript) WHEN DOES THE SESSION START/END From: Saturday, July 7, 2001 To: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 session days begin at 9, end at 5. WHERE IS THE SESSION Crested Butte, Colorado (exact location in town to be announced) Directions and location details are available from http://www.mindview.net/Seminars/Locations/CrestedButte/CrestedButte.html HOW DO I SIGN UP Sign up via the registration system at http://www.mindview.net/Seminars/BackTalkWorkingSession. We have as a limit about 15 people. Hopefully, I'll see you there! - C

Re: [zope-dev] Using db_connections from Zope products
by William Noon 20 Jun '01

20 Jun '01

In both products and External methods I do something like the following: def get_product(self, trans_id) : database = getattr(self, 'product_DA') # product_DA is the database res = database().query( # adaptor "select * from product_log where trans_id = '%s';"%(trans_id)) fields = res[0] results = res[1] This allows the database adaptor to pool connections and be setup from the zope management screens. --Bill Noon

Access to extra modules in Python Scripts
by Dyon Balding 20 Jun '01

20 Jun '01

I wanted to make the re module accessible to Python Scripts on my site. The instructions in the README.txt in the product directory specify that you should place: from Products.PythonScripts.Utility import allow_module allow_module('re') in a product __init__.py. This appears to work fine for basic re functions, however I wish to use the returned re.MatchObject objects, and these raise an Unauthorized exception when methods are called. Reverting to the old __allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__ on re, re.MatchObjects and re.RegexObjects appears to work however. How is one supposed to expose that functionality to Python Scripts using the new security features? In the Utility.py is an allow_class method as well, but I couldn't work out if that was what I needed. thanks -d -- | Dyon Balding . Software Engineer .

I've really wanted to enable people to subscribe to notification about changes to wiki pages, and to notifications about additions to the wiki. Unfortunately, i didn't have time to get to that in the WikiForNow project. As soon as i'm clear form a current project i *may* be able to concentrate on at least formulating a reasonable quick-and-dirty way to do notifications, and getting it done for the short term. Whether or not it's me doing it, i think we're going to be bringing more attention to these issues. > I know there has been talk of opening up the Zope CVS to outside > contributions, I personally think this is long overdue. In order for a > community development forum to really work, this would have to happen. This actually is high in our priorities, but the key players have been swamped. From a discussion w/paul recently i think we'll be getting some more attention to doing this, very soon. > > I just see lots of solutions many of which attack some of the same problems > > and no clear way to get those people comunicating and making informed > > trade-offs I think the fishbowl, as it is, is a good significant move towards exposing the process and enabling involvement. Mailling lists help conduct the collaboration. However, more is needed to facilitate that process - selectively enabling checkins, doing notifications to make tracking of developments manageable, fleshing out the context (problems/big picture). It's an incremental process, and we may have lapsed too long in progressing on those increments - perhaps we need to chart out some of these critical pieces, so we can better formulate how they're being attacked - and maybe enable more help with the increments. I hope to have expore this some, internally, and have more to say about it next week. Ken Manheimer klm(a)digicool.com

<dtml-in> batching badly
by seb bacon 20 Jun '01

20 Jun '01

Hi, First, I don't post to this list normally; is it the best place to discuss an apparent bug? Anyway, the lowdown: If you iterate over a list with a batch size of 1, it messes up towards the end of the sequence. For example, the following code: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('hoo',(1,2,3,4))"> <dtml-in hoo> calling <dtml-in hoo size=1 start=<dtml-var sequence-item>>:<br> <dtml-in hoo size=1 start=sequence-item> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> <hr> </dtml-in> produces the following output: calling <dtml-in hoo size=1 start=1>: 1 calling <dtml-in hoo size=1 start=2>: 2 3 4 calling <dtml-in hoo size=1 start=3>: 3 4 calling <dtml-in hoo size=1 start=4>: 4 That's not the behaviour I'd expect. Can anyone confirm this is a bug? Cheers, seb

Re: [SmartObjects] Zope Object Query Language (ZOQL) Proposal
by Philip Wadler 20 Jun '01

20 Jun '01

I play an active role in the W3C working group designing XQuery, a query language for XML. I'm not familiar with ZOPE and it's query language. Who should I meet with to learn more? If XQuery doesn't meet the needs of the ZOPE team, I'd like to understand why. If there are missing features important to our needs, I can argue to get them added to XQuery. Cheers, -- P
