Or what I really want to know, is it safe to base my applications on ZP and/or LM or is it something I'm going to regret?
You should be regretting it already ;-) LoginManager needs a replacement. I'd like to see a flexible and documented user and userfolder API for both Zope 2 and Zope 3. I think Zope 3 has this, I dunno about Zope 2. I'd also like to see a standard meta-user-folder. IE: providing the functionality that LoginManager does: the ability to check multiple authentication sources for user information. Right now, I'd like to see the scope kept _tight_, just dealing with authentication, no user metadata, that can wait for later. There is XUF, but I'm not sure about the code quality and I think it tries to do too much. Of course, I could be wrong... In any case, I'd be happy to monitor a discussion to build a solution to this (I might even be persuaded to strike up a fishbowl process ;-) and get the finished product done. I dunno if I could manage it for 2.6, but I'd certainly get it done for 2.7... Lemme know how I should proceed. cheers, Chris
