there is currently a heaty and controversial debate at http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/ExtendedDTMLSorting
It is concerned with Oleg's great "Sorting Patch" that provides (almost) general, easy to use sorting facilities all over Zope's framework (DTML, Python Scripts, External Methods, ZPT, ....).
Thank you for support!
It seems to me that DC is far too reluctant to accept contributions to Zope from community members:
* patches fixing bugs * patches implementing missing but useful features
In my view
* bug fixing patches should always be accepted unless the patch is not easily understandable.
* feature patches should be accepted, if it makes Zope more consistent
This is where the problem lies - DC feels like my patch is not consistent. It is exccessive feature; it has no companion patch in dtml-tree sort, etc. :) Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann http://www.zope.org/Members/phd/ phd@phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
