Re: Something better than ZClasses (was: Re: [Zope-dev] Re: Zcatalog bloat problem (berkeleydb is a solution?))
1. We are building a wizard that asks you all the necessary questions to generate a basic class framwework.
Sounds exactly like my mk-zprod.
Cool. I am going to look at it as soon as I have a second to breath. Okay, okay, you got me.... I looked at the code pretty quick. I like it from the first view. It is very clean and easy to see the functionality. I think, if you can define an ZPI for your communication, then it will be no problem to put a SmartWizard Class Generator Front-End on top of this product.
If anyone is interested in helping developing that tool (which will be released under the GPL as all of the iuveno products), then I can make an electronic copy of my personal notes and I setup a CVS.
If we are working to solve the same problem I'd love to lend a hand. If you can, it would be great to see your personal notes. mk-zprod is just an easy way to set up classes that are compliant to the Zope API, but I have some thoughts how one could make it into a pluggable api/language compliant-code-generator, but that might be overkill. It's definantly an overkill :).
Well, the SmartWizard would be like the frontend for it. If you want to see an early non-SmartWizard-framework version, look at the ProiektorInstaller. Just imagine you can build installers like that in Zope. I hope to be done with the first version on Thursday. I will upload the documents tomorrow though, since it is late here and I have to do some work still. I think that we will be able to combine the two products easily, once the SmartWizard is in a semi-stable state.

What is ZPI?

Great, will you let us know?

Ok. I'll begin thinking about all the stuff I dreamt of making mk-zprod into.

Sounds good to me :)
