FYI, the ZPatterns Wiki at: http://www.zope.org/Members/pje/Wikis/ZPatterns/ Has been updated to reflect planned additions for 0.4.0, as well as more detail on things that are in 0.3.0 and 0.2.0. In particular, the PlugIns system has more documentation, and the entire DataManagers subsystem now has pages for each of the major players such as DataSkins, DataInjectors, IndexingAgents, RuleAgents, AttributeProviders, SheetProviders, etc. Please feel free to add questions or comments to the Wiki, or write me on the list(s). Thanks.

Ooh, this is cool stuff. At what version would it be resonable to start implementing software using ZPatterns? Will there be major changes in the way things work up to 1.0? -- Itamar S.T. itamar@maxnm.com

It depends on what the software does. If you are comfortable "rolling your own" extensions and systems based on the ZPatterns components, you can start any time. I'm doing my best to preserve backward compatibility between versions where it doesn't interfere with adding new functionality.

Depends on the things. A lot of things are getting overhauled in 0.4.0 so that the event system and the ability to have DataSkins anywhere can be put in. The roadmap for post-0.4.0 releases looks pretty smooth, however, as it's focused primarily on adding lots of Provider/Agent classes to make the framework usable without "rolling your own". The only other major item that's on my list is a way to do PermissionMappings on things added to the Methods tab of a PlugInContainer, and I haven't yet figured out how to do that. But when/if I do figure it out, I don't expect it to have any radical, sweeping effects on the framework.
