Betreff: [Zope-dev] who wants to maintain Zope 3? Is anyone interested in maintaining Zope 3?
/me is certainly not
With Zope 3 I mean:
I think we should take a look if we can build a minimal setup which Plone, Grok and other projects can use. Do you think there could be such a based configuration? Or is there to much difference in each of Plone, Grok, repoze etc?
The "minimal setup" is called Zope Toolkit. None of the mentioned projects is interested in any of the Zope 3 packages, except where those are still tied into the whole.
If nobody is interested, we should perhaps stop talking about it entirely. If people are just interested in the ZMI, perhaps we should form a ZMI project.
+1, to declaring Zope 3 dead. That should allow us to refactor the remaining packages much more aggressively and reduce the dependencies.
The question is, can we find browser page pattern which Grok, Plone, repoze and others can use? Everybody needs to have at least management views for manage the components they install in some ways. So the question is not if we skip the ZMI or not.
I don't see any example where something in this direction could be shared. The entire model of "context/@@standard_macros" to provide a unified look and feel hasn't worked out, from what I can tell. On the technical side at least Plone is going to switch over to Chameleon as its page template story and use Grok patterns for building pages. I don't think this kind of buy-in is something everyone else is willing to share. Hanno
