I strongly disagree on the term "Zope 2". Now is a great time to finally stop the Zope2/3 confusion: Kill that name and start using a more sensible name, such as "the Zope application server".
Right. However I'm not convinced this is something you can agree/disagree on. Zope 2 exists. Zope 3 does not (it was split apart and renamed). As such, I don't see a problem with referring to it (Zope 2) by name (it's not Voldemort, after all). Someday it will die; but that day is not today. And until that day comes (or it gets renamed, heaven forbid) I would strive for clear and consistent branding (and in this case, I think I would also try to make it clear that Zope 2 is "legacy" software).
Zope 2 was never a brand. It only existed to have a name for the older application server when Zope 3 existed. It led to confusion and still does. The name must go away. It is now the only application server with the "Zope" name left, and that's a simple, clear and consistent brand. We can help make the Zope 2 name go away by stopping its use on "official" community sites like the new zope.org. jens -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iEYEARECAAYFAk3KJIkACgkQRAx5nvEhZLKBOACffi+SkGRq9/3Ars6S4XzJmRV7 tzUAnii+Et4rAsqUcUHRVO8k3WDne3EE =Shk6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
