I'm not going to totally defend it, but when manage_ URLs are called through the web, it makes for a very easy proxy ACL to block public (or other) access to restrict who can see the ZMI.

(constructor=...) I think that the "manage_" prefix to stuff should die. I actually prefer calling the constructor constructFoo but nobody but me does that. ;-) I don't think there's an easy way to consensus... but you could comment in the Dev Guide about it so that at least when folks read it they wikll think about it too., Thomas Guettler wrote:

Hi!

When I "grep" for the constructor syntax in the __init__.py files I see that most people use the form constructor(manage_addFoo, ...)

The DevGuide just calls the function addForm. I think it would be good if there would be a guideline. This makes it easier to read other peoples code.

What do you think?
