One of the challenges that we face is how to publish the models in a form that is useful for people with just the (HTML version of the) model. How can we organize the model so that people can understand the big picture (aka Zen) of the model as well as the details (eg classes)? The ZODB model represents one of our first attempts at this, so feedback on how well the model communicates ideas and suggestions for improvement are welcome.
Well by golly you have trashed my Python project! ;-) I was tinkering with Python code parsing stuff to automatically model Zope components as UML in Visio. Looks like you're doing that by hand, which is fine for me. Very nice.. But, would you also consider making available your Visio or MS Repository database so those of us with Visio can enjoy your labor without a gazillion clicks? -- Other suggestion: also unroll the html frames into a single PDF that reads "sorta like a book". I know that doubles the work, and the frame UML is very slick, but sometimes to get the big picture you really need to layout sheets of paper on your desk and move them around.. -- Wow, this is very nice!
