Please stop saying that there won't be.
I guess there will never be such a path.
I guess differently.
Ok, accepted
From now on I say, ask Jim ;-)
Perhaps
custom products can be rewriten based on Zope3 libraries, but a real migration path like known from other software will never be
supported.
Normaly Zope2 based projects are to highly customized and this will make it impossible for a clear migration path. Perhaps this will be different for standard use of a Plone or Silva. Butdo you
really know
somebody where is using Plone or Silva out of the box?
I'm convinced that there will be a migration path. I don't know if it will be painless or automatic.
It may take the form of Zope 2's lower-level infrastructure being replaced by Zope 3's. I think this is entirely possible and would constitute a real migration to Zope 3. It's very possible that there will be a Zope 2 in the future that supports Zope 2 paradigms and Zope 3 paradigms simultaneously. This would look very different from many "pure" Zope 3 applications, but perhaps no more different than a number of sucessful Zope 3 applications such as Schooltool and applications being built by Canonical.
Yes, I know that this is possible. But are you really proposing to start a project like this? Or do you mean Five is going or should go in this direction?
It (or Zope 2 development in general, which is becoming indistinguishable from Five) is going in this direction. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered! CTO (540) 361-1714 http://www.python.org Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com http://www.zope.org
