... To put it in a nutschell, I guess I am wondering how logic and data can be separated in Zope. I guess also that I am not the first dinosaur the zope community is welcoming. I would be grateful if someone could:
* either shoot me a couple of links explaining how to do that * or help me refactor my views on the world (and I guess that a couple of links would do it also).
We use CMF (or Plone). Logic is in the file system (via "FSDirectoryView"), manage and distributed via CVS. Content is in the ZODB. Configuration, too, is (mostly) in the ZODB. It is synchronized from development to QA to Production via "ZSyncer". There remain a few edges cases: Some objects do not allow to separate configuration from content. The indexes in the catalog are the prime example. We have to update them by hand in the QA and Production instances. The ZSyncer author is working on an extension to handle such cases as well. Dieter
