To stir things up: I would like to suggest renumbering the next Zope 2 release to Zope 4. That reflects the large refactoring that is being done to clean up the codebase and fully eggify Zope. There are enough changes to warrant a new major version bump.
-100 again. We need to stop confusing people!
The only way we could do this would be if we definitely, 100%, with-an-axe killed off any notion of Zope 3 as an app server or application development framework and told everyone "the thing you need to be using if you like Zope, is this Zope thing that's basically Zope 2.14).
No. It would only mean that there was one Zope application thing (pluggabel application platform ...) ...
We already have: "Le roi est mort, vive le roi!" and all that. Jim has pronounced Zope3^H^H^H^HDecoy DOA.
No. I was only referring to the Zope 2 wanna-be application implemented with Zope 3. I certainly think the components that such an application is made of, including application-server components have a long and happy life ahead of them.
Nobody is every going to care about Zope3-the-appserver, as opposed to "the-libraries-harvested-from- Zope3" (at least, the folks who might care are a tiny minority for branding purposes).
I don't think the term "app server" is crisp. To me "app server" != pluggable application. Jim -- Jim Fulton Zope Corporation
