Hello I have installed Worldpilot on Zope 2.5.0 on Linux. Overall, it is pretty much working. My question is: does anyone know if it will continue to be maintained? If not, is there another product that matches worldpilot's features and nice interface? -- Roger Oberholtzer

It was designed for Zope 2.1.x, and is supposed to work with 2.2.x You say it pretty much works with 2.5.0??? .. (oops I fell off my chair)

I doubt it, unless you want to start a new project picking up where they left off over a year ago. There still seems to be a lot of interest, 150+ downloads a month more than a year after the last release!! :-) Adam

There were a few issues with imap and how some functions were called. I think there was a doc on zope.org about this (unless I am confusing this with another product). There is also something odd about the way you select receipients in the mailer. That may just be a design thing.

Anyone know what happened to the original developers? -- Roger Oberholtzer

I think the license might be a bit of hindrance. It includes a request for attribution and a stipulation that all modifications be distributed as patches. But as Neuberger & Hughes are no longer developing the program, perhaps they might consider another license. --- Alastair
