Amos, Great idea for posting this to the list too! I didn't know about lwn... Maybe it's a good idea to place it also on the zope site? ie. Make a tree per month and per week and drop your summaries into it?

I'm definitely interested in feedback. Did I miss something :important? Let me know and I'll include it in the next summary. : :-- : :It's been a pretty busy week in Zopeland. Lots of announcements, lots of :activity on the Zope Documentation Project list, lots of questions, and :even some answers. : :(Note: Unfortunately this week there is a problem with the Zope mailing :list archive which prevents the listing of normal URLs to go along with :all news items. This should be fixed by next week. So this week I am :substituting egroups URLs as needed.) : : * Jim Fulton, technical director at Digital Creations, and Zope guru :number one, announced that on May 19 there will be a Zope 2.0 Alpha 1 :source release. This means we are getting closer to having a fully :threaded Zope! The only question is whether to hack Zope that day or see :that new movie, what's it called again... : : http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/4913.html : : * Beehive held the first Berlin Zope Barbecue! Not only that, but it :was broadcast live on the net. : : http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/4716.html : : * Paul Everitt asked for help with work writing a short piece of Zope :for a forth-coming O'Reilly book on Python and Windows. He also posted a :partial implementation of a COM Method object. However, it seems that :perhaps the turnaround time on this project is too short for much of a :community effort. : : http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/4724.html : : * Many people discussed problems with IE and the latest Zope release. :It looks like its an issue of HTTP headers. : : http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/4732.html : : * Paul Everitt made a long post about Zope on an Infoworld forum about :open source and business and generated some interesting comments. : : http://forums.infoworld.com/threads/get.cgi?111585 : : There was also some related traffic on the mailing list : : http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/4646.html : : * Zope showed up on Scripting News on Wednesday. : : http://news.userland.com/1999/05/12/ : : * Ty Sarna posted an experimental Symbolic Link Product. : : http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/4768.html : http://www.zope.org/Download/Contrib/Pointer.tar.gz : : * Luciano Ramalho offered an example of an External Method which helps :organize links to Documents inside Folders. : : http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/4908.html : : * Jordan B. Baker announced a DTML mode for XEmacs. : : http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/4764.html : ftp://ftp.spyderlab.com/pub/zope/dtml-mode-0.1.tar.gz : : : * Amos Latteier posted a rough draft of a ZClasses tutorial. Lots of :folks are starting to use ZClasses now. Information is still scarce and :lots of things are still changing (witness CVS activity), however more :information is emerging and people are discovering cool things. : : http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/4700.html : http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/4757.html : http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/4846.html : : * Mark Hays offered some security enhancements to the CookieCutter :Product. : : http://www.egroups.com/group/zope/4776.html?raw=1 : :_______________________________________________ :Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org :http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope : :(For developer-specific issues, use the companion list, :zope-dev@zope.org - http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) :
