From: "Stephan Richter" <srichter@cbu.edu>
If OF will make it in the core, the ZBabel stuff will be taken out of it in anyway, since no part of Zope has something like that in it. I am also tempted to say that only the ordering module should go in (maybe the limit as well), since other functionality seems too specific.
Hey Stephan. Makes sense. Maybe that would imply either a different name for the core product ("OrderedFolderLite" is a bad example of the idea, for instance) or some other similar accommodation for the fact that your full product will certainly still be needed/wanted in certain cases. I'd feel comfortable extracting the ordering stuff into a new "lite" product, if you wanted, but I have not looked at the limiting functionality. Do you or Joachim have time to do this yourselves, or to be a part of this somehow? Finally, is there any feeling for just adding the ordering functionality to the standard Zope folder/ObjectManager? Perhaps including a button and an API to hide/show the ordering tools? What do folks think? Gary
