You're not doing your lobbying in the right place, unfortunately... on the maillist, nobody can hear you scream. ;-) You should add this to the Zope 2.6 proposed features list at http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/Zope2.6/ProposedFeatures, then find someone to design and implement it or do so yourself. Note that something like this is a fairly major effort and probably requires a set of proposals in the fishbowl as a result. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Trevor Toenjes" <zope@toenjes.com> To: "Shane Landrum" <srl@mail.boston.com>; "Eron Lloyd" <lloyd@lancaster.lib.pa.us> Cc: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 10:59 AM Subject: RE: [Zope] Developing a general groupware platform in Zope/Python
I am lobbying to get Cookie Authentication and a User Properties API into Zope 2.6 for exactly this reason.
This would allow you to store/capture user properties, whether preferences, profile, or CRM data as properties of the user. Having it part of acl_users would add additonal extensibility and security, rather than creating new user databases.
Standardizing an API will stop the proliferation of conflicting User Products trying to do the same things and "allow the community to move on..." from wasting cycles on redundant infrastructure issues to get to the next level of User Property management and developing more personalization products.
This data could be stored in properties with support for vCard import/export.
Please add your voice to the mix. Maybe someone else can scream louder than me.
Cheers, Trevor

Do you have those libraries in public CVS? I know someone was working on Python wrappers for libical a while back, but I don't know how far they got.
