I posted this on ZDP but I thought I should put it here too. Chris Withers wrote:

The ZDP project has got another server than the main Zope site, and there are only a few spare time developers working on this site. If we could work together with Digital Creations and perhaps on the same server as Zope.org, things would be much easier !
I'm inclined to agree, why have a ZD portal when you could just have a Zope portal...
The ZDP has "only" got the aim to point to existing stuff. Restructuring the existing docs is not our job.
Maybe it should be? How about rebuilding zope.org as a generic 'Zope Portal' with the building and documenting work being done more by the community? (ie: integrating ZDP and Zope.org)
You got it. I think that the ZD portal and Zope.org should be seamlessly integrated. More to the point, I have the authority to make it happen on DC's end. I am *very* interested in integrating the community's effort more completely into Zope.org. Furthermore, this *is* a major part of what I need to do with Zope.org. It is, indeed, part of my Job Description: 4. Use direct assistance, tight documentation integration, collaborative tools and appropriate koans to provide a path to Zope Zen: a gentle learning curve that takes participants from novice DTML work to hacking zope internals So I *do* have time to help with this, and I don't imagine my employer will give me flack :) I will admit that I am not exactly up to speed on who's doing what with ZDP, nor am I trying to impose a vision. So what do you folks think? -- ethan mindlace fremen Zopista Community Liason
