Fair enough. I did have one other idea though: Will Topics accept parameters passed to them? Put it another way, will we be able to build dynamic topics?
I don't see much need for this. Do you? Why not just use a search form for this kind of thing.
Another idea: Will it be possible to 'Topic-ize' the results of a ZSQL method? they return a flat list.
Hmm. Perhaps, though I don't see how to easily map SQL method results on to Zope objects in the same way the catalog provides a 'getobject' method...
I had a light go on: I can use Topics in combination with the Calendar tag and acquisition to build custom calendars!
Given: /root /Topic_1 /Topic_2 /Topic_3 /Calendar
A URL like /root/Topic_1/Topic_2/Calendar/ should be valid and show me events in both Topics (or categories, whatever)!
Sounds good. In fact I mostly thought of Topics being arranged in containment hierarchies, but you could acquire Topics to create combined Topics dynamically. Thanks for your ideas. -Amos -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

I was thinking that it could be usefull to have a general topic that could be refined by passing in a parameter, for example filtering out all objects that have been modified less than a day ago. or only seeing How-To's. It was just an idea off the top of my head. Or is this what you meant in your proposal:
Maybe a hook for somehow filtering the list of objects in a topic by overriding a method.
Cheers, Michael Bernstein.

Let me get this straight, how much faster is a python product compared to something like this done with ZClasses with some properties, ZCatalog with a method to display them, and a few other things?. I see some of you extra options that your proposal includes as only impossible with a product, but just want to clarify, to myself, what should be done in Zope and what should be done in a product. (Its getting harder to see the difference) I think your proposal replaces how I was going to use ZClasses etc, which is cool :) TIA, David
Thanks for your ideas.
