Many people have said they're using the Zope 3 app server, where app server is the collection of components used to run applications using Zope 3 components.
What no one is interested in is the *application* that was distributed in the Zope 3 distribution. [...] What definition of "app server" are we using?
What the heck is the "Zope Toolkit"? Is there a page somewhere that defines what it is? I thought Zope 3 was being renamed "Zope Toolkit", but given recent discussions, I'm not sure.
Just the fact that this confusion of terminology, and that nobody means the same thing with "Zope 3" is in itself a strong indicator that Zope 3 should die. That may only mean the *name* Zope 3. It apparently means nothing an everything, and is still causing confusion. Stephan Richter has says he is willing to maintain Zope 3, whatever he means with that. :-) I think that's great. But I think it would be a good thing if it is renamed. To what should reasonably be up to Stephan. -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64
