Hello everyone, I have been hanging around #zope on IRC a lot recently and noticed that a lot of newbies ask a lot of DTML questions. I tried to answer their questions but I always pointed them to ZPT in the end. I was amazed that the majority had never heard of ZPT or thought that their problem could only be solved with DTML. I've been emailing with Chris McDonough (see out thread on the ZDP mailinglist) and we found that the following two reasons might be responsible to this: a) newbies, esp. scripters, like to play around without reading docs b) the tutorial is grossly out of date a) seems is a common behaviour which we cannot change. We can, however, change what newbies find on their path of trial and error. I think a big false symbol is that index_html is still a DTML Method. Everybody with some knowledge of web suite building knows what a index.html is so they will most likely look at that object named index_html. They see that it is a DTML Method so they'll say "Aha! HTML in Zope is done with DTML Methods". Therefore, I propose to make index_html a PageTemplate for 2.7. Since this change would not affect the framework at all, it should not interfere with the release schedule for 2.7. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thoughts? Phil
