To be honest, I am very disappointed by this list. It is totally meaningless to me since it does not represent any list with which I can build even a fairly simple application today. There is not a single z3c package in there.
As I understand it, ZTK is not meant to build applications on. It's meant to build application servers on. ZTK is supposed to be tha base on which we build things like Grok, Plone, and yes, Zope 3.
Anyways, if the ZTK does not become more comprehensive, I will keep developing the list that is now in zope.release (aka Zope 3.5.0dev).
I sure hope you will!
Agreed. The ZTK is pulled into one direction or another (is it a renamed and refocused Zope 3? or is it a framework construction kit? or a set of libraries we can build other libraries on?). I think in general frameworks like Zope 2, Grok and whatever-Stephan's-appserver-is-named should lock down quite a bit more than what's in the ZTK itself. It's just that the ZTK process itself doesn't manage these packages. Regards, Martijn
