For those of you who didn't get a chance to see a demo of the Portal Toolkit at Linux Expo, we've put it on-line on the Zope site: http://www.zope.org/Products/PortalToolkit/Tour/ These slides explain what the Portal Toolkit is, and show it in action though the magic of animated GIFs! Just to reiterate, the Portal Toolkit is not yet available, it should be out in beta this month. -Amos P.S. We're thinking of creating more animated GIF demos of Zope. Do you think this is a good idea? If so, what sort of demos would you like to see? Let me know. -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com

If there is a choice between more animated GIFs, and say better documentation, and faster bug squashing, I vote for the latter! ------- Regards, Graham Chiu gchiu<at>compkarori.co.nz

Great idea. Very well done. Maybe one oriented more towards developers who are interested what's going on behind the scenes?

Hi Amos,

Fabulous! I can hardly wait to get my hands on PT!

Yes, it's a good idea. Ani GIFs are a good solution because they are supported in all browsers and versions. Although I found myself re-running the animation with refresh and then, heck, just load my GIF animator and going through each frame a click at a time. Frame timing is tricky to appeal to all people. You did well but I wanted a closer look in certain areas. Is there a plugin or some java module that lets one go back and forward in an Ani GIF one frame at a time? Is Shockwave to be avoided because of incomplete support on various browsers and versions? (I don't know much about Shockwave other than it looks pretty and can create funky sounds.) Real Audio (G2) may be good because we could get to hear your voice but the video portion may not be as good quality as the Ani GIFS. Also, If you do go the RA route, Consider allowing download of the *.ra files so that they can be played offline. I have had problems with dropped and jerky RA streams due to my connection. * Other Demos: - Various more technical how-to demos Example: basics: forms, variables and security.... ZClasses, .... -Bob OConnor bob@rocnet.com
