Maybe this is just a Squishdot problem, but I can't see any significant different between subject_count and item_count above, can you?

Which of these things is not like the other? ;) It doesn't have a doc string, and ZPublisher will not publish a method that does not have one. XML-RPC should have better error messages, but it doesn't. We didn't put XML-RPC support into Zope, so you would need to talk to the original author, Eric Kidd of Userland (http://linux.userland.com/)?, or send us some patches. -Michel
