Do you have to go through all of that? Couldn't you put it up as a zip file, using ZMI, rather than CMF API's?
As a mere mortal member and not-yet-signer of litigious paperwork, am I allowed ZMI access?
Sure. After you log in, you can still get to Members/youruserid/manage_main.
I think making the binaries available will widen the pool of people who could fix windows problems.
Really? I would have thought they'd need ot be able to compile :-S
If they have the .pyd files, they can run Zope and fix problems they find in the .py files.
Don't confuse "caring" with "time" and "priorities". I care about having Zope 3 run on Windows, and Mac OS X, and other platforms. I don't have time to do that though. I think it would be appropriate for others to help by working on windows and Mac OS X (etc.) issues.
Indeed. Although the stuff which stopped me was shear carelessness (things like just using unix path seperators rather that os.path.join, etc)...
