Hello
When it comes to Zope people seem to have 2 opinions. (Maybe that's the 2 in the name ;-) ). A lot of people seem to use it (with or even without Plone) and loving it and a lot of people call it dead because there is (almost) no new development. At least on the Zope package itself. I myself like to work with Zope too but I know web development changed in the last couple of years and there are other options around. I don't know if it is worth the thing but to have a future Zope needs
- A MAINTAINER!!! - MARKETING!
Oh, we great a not that bad Zope 2 site once in the past. Outcome? Zero.
- DOCUMENTATION!
Oh, we created a not so bad docs.zope.org site. Outcome? Zero.
- Usability improvements (frameless, responsive ZMI)
Waste of time...
- Technical improvements (Port to Python3, WSGI, ...)
Reasonable but too hard to achieve and it longer it takes the more pointless Zope will become.
The technical improvements could be organized/financed with a pledgie the others are possibly harder to solve.
Beat me for my realistic sarcasm but Zope is a zombie.
