Thanks to everyone for their comments and suggestions! I have decided to upgrade our Zope 2.6 application (which consists of 276 scripts/methods/external methods, 5 zcatalogs and 5 sets of zclasses) to Zope 2.9 and Five - as this appears to be a somewhat less painful migration than making a complete leap to Zope 3!

If it is "fairly extensive" I would think your best bet is to migrate up the 2.X ladder.
2.6 -> 2.7.8 (shouldn't be too bumpy) 2.7.8 -> 2.8.4 (ZCatalog issues) 2.8.4 -> 2.9.x (lots of Zope 3 goodness)
If you do those the jump into Zope 3 should be easier than not.
I usually wait for a .3 or .4 release to get in.

I have a fairly extensive application running on Zope 2.6 and would like to upgrade it for long-term maintainability. So I am looking for thoughts from the group as to whether it would be better to upgrade to the latest version of Zope 2, or 'bite-the-bullet' and upgrade to Zope 3.
Does anyone know the long term fate of Zope 2? (ie. is the plan to eventually move everything into Zope 3, then slowly fade Zope 2 from the picture, or will Zope 2 be with us forever?).
Any and all thoughts gratefully appreciated!
Thanks,
Jonathan
