I was reading over on linuxworld about some of Nick's complaints against zope. one of them was the lack of ZClasses being able to autogenerate forms for their property sheets. i wrote up some dtml methods which do just that, see http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2000-July/029325.html (i would have cross-posted but i was expecting a spanish inquisition:) any DC people want to comment about folding something akin to this into Zope's ZClass Machinery.
