Hi! I did plan to work on a small catalog improvement, but after looking at the code I'd like to do some cleanup first: 1.) remove the deprecated TextIndex The deprecation warning says: 'Using TextIndex is deprecated (will be removed in Zope ' '2.12). Use ZCTextIndex instead.' 2.) remove CHANGES.txt, README.txt and version.txt from Products/ZCatalog These files seem to be obsolete. 3.) remove security declarations from ZCTextIndex and DateRangeIndex All the other indexes don't have security declarations. AFAICS there is no way to access indexes from untrusted code without having the 'Manage ZCatalogIndex Entries' permission. 4.) add 'indexSize' to IPluggableIndex and implement it where missing ZCatalog uses that method and most indexes implement it already. If there are no objections, I'll make these changes on the 2.12 branch and the trunk. Cheers, Yuppie
