If we don't call Zope Framework "4.0", we'll be fine. We should call its first release 1.0 and there's no implication of a progression.
+1 on calling it Zope Framework 1.0. We need the people who have been burned by past Zope releases to take another look, because we believe Zope is finally getting simpler. Those people would assume Zope-anything 4.0 is just piling on more complexity, while a version 1.0 release would invalidate that assumption and suggest they take another look.
Maybe I'm dense, but from the description of the Zope Framework (from http://docs.zope.org/zopeframework/about/index.html) as "a collection of libraries managed by the Zope developers," I can't imagine a non-Zope person being interested at all. As far as I can tell, the Zope Framework is a project management structure, not something outsiders would be interested in. -- Benji York Senior Software Engineer Zope Corporation
