Just to throw out another idea, Amos has discussed with me in the past the idea of replacing medusa with Apache 2.0. Compelling as many of Twisted's features may be, Apache 2.0 as far as i can tell supports many of them as well (except perhaps jython integration, which is a pipe dream anyway for Zope). Apache has the upshot in that it is rock solid, tested by millions, trusted by even more, and no doubt one of the most actively developed peices of software there is.
For ZC the upshots of 1) not needing to maintain it, and 2) it being a excellent marketing tool outweight many technical benifits that twisted may have that Apache doesn't (I'd like to know what the differences are, however). For example, does twisted do URL rewriting? proxy? process/thread job control?
i'd never thought i'd see the day, open source software advocating the inclusion of other open source software because of marketing dictates.
I'm not dismissing the idea, I'm just pointing out an alternative to Itamar's alternative. ;)
my alternative to your alternative, is aolserver and mozilla. no mozilla isn't a webserver, but why should zope be either. cheers kapil
