I can't keep that in mind because I came to the Zope mailing list after that discussion took place. Again, my immediate impression seeing the mailing list zope-dev is that it is for the developers of new versions of Zope, not that it is for advanced users trying to do non-trivial or "technical" things with Zope. Every project I can think of follows that convention for naming its mailing lists. If you do nothing else, rename zope-dev to something like zope-advanced if that's the kind of use you intend for that list. You can't count on people following the consensus of an argument that took place before we arrived. And if the people involved in that argument are all gone, why should we be chained to their decisions? -- | Don Porter dgporter@erols.com | | "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!" | | -- Adam West as BATMAN | |______________________________________________________________________|
