I'd merely suggest that if nobody responds to this thread announcing interest in Zope 3 the app server, then it might be time to consider it dead. Neither at PyCon nor during many of the last threads we found a single user of Zope 3 the app server.
Many people have said they're using the Zope 3 app server, where app server is the collection of components used to run applications using Zope 3 components. What no one is interested in is the *application* that was distributed in the Zope 3 distribution. ...
By now I count three people using Zope 3 for a small number of projects. But none of them seems to have the resources to continue the maintenance or future development of Zope 3.
For many of us, the components that make up Zope 3 have become boring and don't require a lot of maintenance.
If this turns out to be the only users of the Zope 3 app server, the community and foundation might be better of making this public in form of stopping to advertise Zope 3 on its websites and clearly stating that this is a dead end.
I think we have to be a lot more careful about our terminology. What definition of "app server" are we using? What the heck is the "Zope Toolkit"? Is there a page somewhere that defines what it is? I thought Zope 3 was being renamed "Zope Toolkit", but given recent discussions, I'm not sure. Jim -- Jim Fulton Zope Corporation
