Announce: new www.zope.org is LIVE!
At long last, http://www.zope.org has gone live with a new look and a new platform based on Zope 2.6.2, CMF 1.3 and Plone! Our thanks go to the cast of thousands who have participated in this project over time, most recently Guido van Rossum and Sidnei de Silva for getting us to the goal line. Zope.org is a big site with a lot of content. We've tried hard to test the most common resources, but we fully expect some issues to arise in the transition. We are also certain that the best way to work things out quickly is to 'make it live' and tackle the issues as they come up. If you notice anything weird, broken or missing from the site, please send us a problem reporting using the ZopeOrg issue collector: http://collector.zope.org/ZopeOrg/collector_add_issue_form Issues that we are aware of and working to resolve this week include: - Logging in as a member takes a ridiculously long time. We think this might be an LDAP interaction and we working to fix it. - We have not done extensive cache tuning yet - if you experience any unreasonably slow load times, please let us know the URL you were trying to get to help us tune caching. The old sites will remain accessible for some time at the following URLs in case anything was missed in the transition: - http://old.zope.org - http://olddev.zope.org Note that it will take some time for DNS changes to propagate, so you may not see the site changes immediately. Thanks again to everyone who has been involved in making this happen! Brian Lloyd brian@zope.com V.P. Engineering 540.361.1716 Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com
Yay :) I'm sure this ushers in a new era of Zope UI respectability ;> So, sorry to start with the quibbles already, but .. Too many pages are way too wide http://collector.zope.org/ZopeOrg/106 This has always bugged me about Plone too. It seems like every second page is way wider than my browser window. This is partly the result of long <pre> lines, which is made worse by the fact that the content area is a table cell .. this means that the longest <pre> line sets the width of all the text. It would be much better if only the too-long lines extended off the side of the screen, and the other lines wrapped. IMHO this consequence of the table- based layout is a major downer :/ The table on a member's page (eg. http://zope.org/Members/jens/view ) also gets much too wide very easily. I like to bump up the text size to 120% or so for easy reading on my laptop, and on new zope.org I can't, unless I want to scroll horizontally a lot. -- Jean Jordaan http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za
