Now (well, after the December release :), I think it's time to revisit what the core of Zope 3 is and how we manage the repository. There has been a trend to manage important components separately and link them in. I see this trend continuing. The advent of eggs and continuing maturation of zpkg and testing technology will accelerate this trend, IMO.
I think that in the future, there may be a much smaller core Zope 3 project that represents the "object filing system" (zope.ofs? :). This core project may be a client of a collection of much smaller projects, such as zope.interface, zope.component. etc.. If that vision comes to pass, Zope 2 will no longer contain the Zope 3 core, but they will both share a large number of components which neither of them "contain". Obviously, this would radically change the nature of this debate.
I was counting on you making exactly this suggestion. :-) I agree with all of that. Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter CBU Physics & Chemistry (B.S.) / Tufts Physics (Ph.D. student) Web2k - Web Software Design, Development and Training
