because of the failure of the new.zope.org project I would like to put the hat on for reorganizing the Zope 2 presentation on zope.org. The goal is having up some pages with the downloads, basic pointers and links with the final release of Zope 2.12 later this year.
This is, as others have pointed out, great stuff!
There are basically two options: create a dedicated microsite (similar to grok.zope.org) or follow the Zope 3 approach on wiki.zope.org. Unless someone provides enough resources in helping, I would like to go with the wiki approach since it is much easier to handle. Volunteers that have the same interest in Zope 2 and getting this thing done are invited to join the effort. Based on the new.zope.org experienced I am interested in effective work and not so much in interested in discussions about briefs, mission statements and other less important stuff :-)
I absolutely agree. About wiki/vs microsite, I also would hope for a microsite. Wikis are good for community generated docs/howtos and stuff, which we already have for Zope2. And a pretty good one at that: http://wiki.zope.org/zope2/Zope2Wiki Also, there is alos now the Zope2Book and Zope Developers guide on docs.zope.org, looking good there. But we do need a Zope2 overview site, that explains what it is and how to get started, and has links to all of the above places. I assume that's what you intend to create? A similar site should be created for Zope 3, and then we should trash the current Zope org for a new frontpage that basically only points to the different microsites. -- Lennart Regebro: Pythonista, Barista, Notsotrista. http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64
