Hey Fabio, Thanks again for coming back on this, this is quite encouraging. Fabio Tranchitella wrote:
I've just checked out that the domain zope3.org is not owned by the Zope Corporation. Do you have any idea about it? Would it be possible to claim it back?
I don't know, unfortunately.
I'm thinking about taking over maintenance of zope3 in the wider term (not only maintaining the code, but also the community around it).
I might've missed your statement on this before, but do you think you could work with a renamed Zope 3? The same technology but with a different name? We could easily create a 'foo.zope.org' for it just like we have 'grok.zope.org', or we could of course start with a new domain name. I think a fresh take on Zope 3 would help focus the efforts as well, and perhaps dumping the conceptual baggage would help attract new users and developers. But this discussions is fraught with danger. :)
To be honest, zope3 (as it is today) is a nice platform for me and for my company to build web applications (and, in general, the ZCA is a nice platform for building not-only-web applications), and it would be a shame to loose it.
The ZCA is well in hand and I hope it's going to do better than ever, managed as part of the Zope Toolkit project. I hope we'll eventually gain improved documentation describing it too, right there on zope.org.
To make explicit: I am not talking just about maintaining the ZMI, I'm talking about making zope3 a *real* user-friendly web framework, as (for example) grok is already right now.
Very cool! So, what about the name? Open to a change? Regards, Martijn
