Since I just stepped up as the Zope2 release manager, I'd be happy to be involved and help out with this. Pending any objections against me as a release manager that is :) I'm probably not going to be able to drive the ZTK process. I think the first release should be driven by the needs of BlueBream and Grok. I'll be happy to voice my opinion and my concerns from a Zope2 (Plone?) standpoint. And make sure that the overall release process of the ZTK ensures the same sort of stability and release timespans, that will allow Zope2 to use it. Hanno

Hi everyone,

on the way towards a ZTK 1.0 release we first looked for a single volunteer release manager who would drive the process.

As no one stepped up and no (serious) nominations were presented the discussion went back to the drawing board and the plan was changed a bit: we'd like to go with a (small) team of representatives from the large ZTK consumers, namely: Zope 2, grok, and BlueBream.

I assume at least someone from every project is listening here, so I suggest the following:

* grok and BlueBream: please check within your own sub-communities for someone you'd like to represent you in the draft of what the ZTK 1.0 should look like and who is willing to help with it.

Hi! I will be the representative for BlueBream, since Baiju is already doing an enormous amount of work and he needs help. Let's wait a little bit more for a caveman to stand up for Grok, and we can start discussing about the release of the ZTK 1.0. This should probably happen soon, because Grok 1.1 and BB 1.0 are currently using the same versions and are about to be released. Christophe

* Zope 2: In theory I'd suggest the Zope 2 release manager. In practice I'd like to nominate Hanno because he's been very active with Zope 2 recently and already has done work on the ZTK before. (Hanno: sorry. *duck*)

We don't have a complete set of tasks/issues for the release yet, however, here's a few:

* Find a definition of 'ZTK release' that fits all consumers * Establish actual task list and work on it * Ensure we have windows binaries

We don't have a schedule to follow, but I think we can get started within the next weeks (read that "as soon as we have the staffing issues out of the way").

Cheers, Christian

We're still missing someone from grok and I just send a reminder on their list. So I'm going back to hibernation on this topic for now. -- Christian Theune · ct@gocept.com gocept gmbh & co. kg · forsterstraße 29 · 06112 halle (saale) · germany http://gocept.com · tel +49 345 1229889 0 · fax +49 345 1229889 1 Zope and Plone consulting and development
