A possible topic is Zope 2 to Zope 3 transition and working on Zope 2.9.

Before independent discussions erupt here, see my response on zope3-dev with my worries about Zope 2.9 and what I think the right thing to do is concerning Zope 3 technology in Zope 2: making as much as possible work with Zope 2.7 *without changing Zope 2*. Zope 2.9 will still happen of course, and will be able to do more than what's possible against a base of Zope 2.7, but it's a while off (a year by an optimistic estimate) and work on Zope 2.7 integration can start today instead. Here's my posting: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope3-dev/2003-December/009023.html and a minor correction: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope3-dev/2003-December/009025.html Regards, Martijn
