7) implement a mailing list from within Zope
Woah, different thing entirely. Check out Mailman (www.list.org), and there's some talk about implementing a sort of integration between the two, but that should be taken to them, not to the Zope people.
[Ken says neat things about integrating the two]
So there's a lot of nice stuff to do here. When we'll pinpoint what, that would have priority, is a question. There's *lotsa* nice stuff to do with zope...
I'd say converting to DocumentTemplates would be easy and a high-gain thing :-) The current Mailman thing is not the prettiest known :-) Having said that, I think the rest should be abstracted to a generic mail interface... Something like the ability to CONTROL Mailman from Zope, but not necessarily integrating the two together.
c)workflow
27 ton weight. But not impossible, but I'm not sure it belongs IN Zope, honestly.
I would not dismiss this too quickly. We went into the dreamworld for a day or two, thinking about what could be if we had a versatile workflow engine in zope, and i think a lot of mouths were watering. Imagine if you had a bunch of interfaces and could express your activity logic for expressing the flow between them in a high-level, comprehensible way. That might be a reeeal convenient way to build applicable portions of a web site. This is probably something we'll return to after linux expo.
I think this should run seperate from the Zope server though... at least that's what I meant to say... :-) For example the PAOS project that Carl did at one point was REALLY REALLY cool :-) Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli ``Television is bubble-gum for | petrilli@amber.org the mind.''-Frank Lloyd Wright
