Re: [Zope-dev] People in the "Zope 3" and "ZMI" teams

Just so we don't lose track of who are interested in maintaining Zope 3 (and/or the ZMI). I've distilled the following list of people who are interested in helping maintain Zope 3. This might mean making sure existing apps work, maintaining or replacing the ZMI, and working on making sure installation works. We can work out these details over time.
I've just checked out that the domain zope3.org is not owned by the Zope Corporation. Do you have any idea about it? Would it be possible to claim it back? I'm thinking about taking over maintenance of zope3 in the wider term (not only maintaining the code, but also the community around it). To be honest, zope3 (as it is today) is a nice platform for me and for my company to build web applications (and, in general, the ZCA is a nice platform for building not-only-web applications), and it would be a shame to loose it. To make explicit: I am not talking just about maintaining the ZMI, I'm talking about making zope3 a *real* user-friendly web framework, as (for example) grok is already right now.

Agreed that ZCA has great pottencial to be used as not-only-web-framework I have used ZCA+ZODB successfully in some desktop only projects Roman
Hey Fabio, Thanks again for coming back on this, this is quite encouraging. Fabio Tranchitella wrote:

I don't know, unfortunately.

I might've missed your statement on this before, but do you think you could work with a renamed Zope 3? The same technology but with a different name? We could easily create a 'foo.zope.org' for it just like we have 'grok.zope.org', or we could of course start with a new domain name. I think a fresh take on Zope 3 would help focus the efforts as well, and perhaps dumping the conceptual baggage would help attract new users and developers. But this discussions is fraught with danger. :)

The ZCA is well in hand and I hope it's going to do better than ever, managed as part of the Zope Toolkit project. I hope we'll eventually gain improved documentation describing it too, right there on zope.org.
To make explicit: I am not talking just about maintaining the ZMI, I'm talking about making zope3 a *real* user-friendly web framework, as (for example) grok is already right now.
Very cool! So, what about the name? Open to a change? Regards, Martijn

ZCA will be improved by ZTK, so I don't worry.

For me, my main purpose is maintaing the ZMI as an application server on ZTK, because I find it still useful for maintenance/configuration on the spot for example. But making Zope3(though it is still ambiguous for me)/ZTK user- friendly sounds a very nice idea. I could imagine a lot of packages might makes beginners shrink a bit, although we already have nice books. Best regards, -- Yusei TAHARA <yusei@domen.cx>
