A while back Gocept graciously hosted the first of a series of Zope Resurrection sprints (now they have to host more *wink*). At the sprint we had a discussion about the status of the Zope Toolkit. Both Jan-Wijbrand and me where present as two of the members of the old ZTK release team.
At the meeting we discussed whether or not it would continue to make sense to "release" the ZTK as we had done in the past. The conclusion from the meeting was, that there is little to no benefit of doing ZTK releases anymore.
Both Zope2 and Grok have long since forked and maintain their own versions of a ZTK versions list. Applications built directly on top of the ZTK tend to use the current ZTK versions list as a starting point, but fork and maintain their own versions as well. And the ZTK itself has matured and is very stable, so there aren't many version conflicts across ZTK libraries anymore, which would warrant tracking compatible version combinations.
With that said, there is still value in testing all the ZTK libraries in one place, so the zopetoolkit project on github [1] still provides some value. We would like to encourage anyone doing a new release of a ZTK library, to also provide a pull request against the zopetoolkit project (for example [2]), so we get a travis-ci test run for the ZTK as a whole.
As an alternative you can also still use the zopetoolkit project to develop and test a library before doing a release, by following the relevant instructions [3].
At the sprint I took a stab at updating the ZTK docs [4], so they aren't completely out-of-date anymore. But there are certainly still outdated sections in there, so any help is welcome to update them. A final thanks goes to Jim, who put in a redirect, so the old http://docs.zope.org/zopetoolkit site now redirect to https://zopetoolkit.readthedocs.io.
Excellent work!
