One question is what launchpad project we should use.
The current launchpad is for "Zope 3". The steering group isn't about Zope 3. It's about a whole bunch of libraries. Creating a separate launchpad project for each library in the framework seems like a bit of overkill at this stage, though it would please those people who come at us at the perspective from libraries the most.
It smells like 'Zope Framework' (zope-framework) should be a Project Group then, and there should be a 'Zope Steering Group Project' (zope-steering-group-project) as part of it, and sibling of Zope 3 and any other libraries that are part of Zope Framework. For an example of what this looks like, look at:
Why would the steering group be a project as part of the Zope Framework? The steering group isn't a project?
I'm all for setting something up, but I'm still not clear on what you'd set up. A Zope Framework project group with what inside?
My take would be the following. It's probably contentious. - The current zope3 project is regarded as a project for the aggregation of the pieces into the old tgz and the old mgmt UI. This should be clarified on the project page. - There is a new Zope Framework (I would prefer Zope Libraries myself, but let's not start that again ;-) ) umbrella project, controlled by a new Zope Framework team. - There are multiple zope.* (and z3c.* and whatever) library projects. They are part of the umbrella project (if so desired by the pertinent parties). - The current zope3 project should be considered part of the Zope Framework *at least for now* because it has legacy information. If someone reassigns the bugs and blueprints and so on to the pertinent library projects (or to the Zope Framework), "zope3" could no longer be part of the Zope Framework umbrella project, if desired. That's work, though, so I'd be inclined to see if it happens and meanwhile be happy to take the zope3 project in as legacy. Gary
