Re: Something better than ZClasses (was: Re: [Zope-dev] Re: Zcatalog bloat problem (berkeleydb is a solution?))
So what does it do? :)
It is a general Wizard Builder with which you could build a Wizard that asks for all the necessary information to auto-generate a Python Product (for example).
What I'm thinking is this: maybe use SmartWizard to meta-program you Python Product; that creates a definition file(s) of some sort which is sent to mk-zprod; mk-zprod consults the WarpFramework do make sure we don't create too much work for ourselves, and also provides us with nice default HTML/DTML-pages, and finally, Formulator could be used to do validation on those HTML/DTML-pages.
Exactly that. But the SmartWizard would provide you with a framework to build this "Make New Python Product Wizard". If I get far enough, I will release the pre alpha today, just you see the proof of concept...
Or are we talking past eachother here?
Nope, we don't. But SmartWizard is a more general tool than you were thinking of it.
It would be very cool to have a tool like that.
I agree. It is annoying to code all that stuff all the time. Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter CBU - Physics and Chemistry Student Web2k - Web Design/Development & Technical Project Management

Cool! I'll be looking forward to it.
Hm. Wizard? if there are always many objects to create, may be it would be better to have a generic mechanism for asking users and represent app-/management interfaces rather then copying all the stuff over and over?

That's what mk-zprod does. Or rather, will do once I've made the interface friendlier. (If I didn't misunderstand you.)

Well, the current wizard version (which I hope I will be able to release in a couple more hours) already has some Page Templates that do some of the common tasks. I think we could easily map this to the management interface. And I like the idea a lot. So often I am simple copying a DTML File just to change a name or so.
