Is it possible to view a version which is not yet committed in an external browser?
Yes, if you're working in a version, what you see *is* the version. For example, if modify a document in a version, and you click 'View' you see the version copy, not the 'public' copy.
It would nice to be able to view a one page hyperlinked list of objects that have been modified and get diffs on the changes to each file.
Also, using Homesite I can ftp edit the live website but is it possible to ftp edit the version?
Nope. Versions work with cookies, which FTP obviously has no semantics for. Versions are cool and magical, but not quite as magical as they first seem.
Heres an idea. Have a way to map a version to a port. A special version object that lets you specify an ftp port. All objects accessed are those in the version.

It would be simpler to make a Version folderish, and its contents the root of the Zope site as seen by that version (or no contents if we are already inside a Version, to avoid infinite recursion). A Nifty side effect would be to cut and past between versions trivially. ___ // Zen (alias Stuart Bishop) Work: zen@cs.rmit.edu.au // E N Senior Systems Alchemist Play: zen@shangri-la.dropbear.id.au //__ Computer Science, RMIT WWW: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/~zen
