Your position appeared to be that it's a good idea to tempt new users into using "plain zope 2". I assert that it's not because zope.org is dead, the docs have barely changed in 7 years and, in a specific case, LocalFS has become unmaintained and doesn't work in current Zope 2 releases.

So you really don't go to zope.org.
That doesn't answer my question. What public code do you actively maintain?

Why bother?
Because it's broken on current Zope releases and no-one is maintaining it, meaning every person who wants to use it has to individually patch it and maintain their own local copy. Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
