Zope on Windows/Mac OS X: BatteriesIncludedDistribution
I've just created the follwing fishbowl proposal: http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/BatteriesIncludedDistribution Please read and comment. Richard
Whew, what a proposal and what a good sign! As several have noted, there are quite a few proposals in the fishbowl that deal with different aspects of the problems. There's also a draft proposal that we had here in ZC that expands on the items. Finally, there appear to be a few pieces of software (yours, zctl, zopectl, etc.) that try to address aspects. I suggest that we all spend some time trying to revisit all the proposals, obsolete the ones that are covered elsewhere, and try to find the common ground. There is a dorman zope-packagers mailing list we could hijack for these purposes: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-packagers/ I think, with all the various efforts, it is time to agree on some standards regarding where configuration data lives and how it looks. --Paul Richard Jones wrote:

I remember that Eric Raymond had created a new language specifically for describing software configuration options, and that he implemented the new language using Python: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/cml2/ This may not be appropriate for Zope configuration, but I thought I'd bring it up.

OK, I've joined that list. I did not realise the worm can was this big :) Richard
