DCWorkflow is a prime example, type it in on the zope.org search box and up come three links to zwiki pages - nothing leading one to the product itself. to me, this is a very serious deficiency. when someone recommends a product, as you did here, it should be trivial to go to zope.org and _find_ it (imho), and it just isn't...
I've noticed this too.... it's because DCWorkflow is in CVS only, and the developers mention it once or twice and assume everyone knows (since, they probably only deal with CVS!)
Solution is to get a CVS client and get familiar with cvs.zope.org, and look there if you can't find anything. Unfortunately, the web front end there does not have something as simple as 'search for a product or package'
well, i cited DCWorkflow as a prime _example_ - i have the same problem with almost _any_ product search. another example picked at random: i went to the downloads page and clicked on "examples" then clicked on "Quick Survey." in the description of this product the author cites "TinyTablePlus" as required. enter "TinyTablePlus" into the search box and you'll get 5 hits - none of which will lead you to the TinyTablePlus product... i consider this a real problem and not a very good advertisement for zcatalog. but then, i have _yet_ to grok zcataloging either. <sigh> -- charlie blanchard http://baldguru.com/ LosAngeles area Zope Users Group http://lazug.org
