So what do you think are the most needed Zope products?
Form tools! :) Uhmm. Check. Feel free to join the community project at: http://www.zope.org/Members/faassen/Formulator I'll be giving a presentation to the community this friday in Berlin, too. Another thing I'm getting back involved in now is the whole Zope XML picture. I think good support for things such as XSLT, XPath, XLink and so on could add a lot of value for lots of people, and would do wonders for the enterprise buzzwordability of Zope, as well. e-commerce infrastructure is nice too, of course. Someone else can do that. :) What Zope also needs is a set of good clear APIs for component developers, and it needs something like the 'new religion' that's on a wiki somewhere; model/view/controller type architecture. If you think this can't be a community project as it's too advanced then I'll tell you that thought is the bane of community projects. Community projects can do anything! :) But as with any open source project, the community project will only succeed if there is one dedicated person (or a small group of dedicated people) that does all the work anyway. The opening of the Zope CVS for outside developers will help here too, hopefully. Regards, Martijn
