Meta Type Registry
Is there a Product Builders meta-type registry somewhere? I can see things getting messed up in the near future as the number of products proliferates and meta-types start to clash. I've already seen weird interactions with products PSQL Input Wizard and ZNolk when both are installed I only got PSQL Input Wizard despite picking ZNolk from the drop down... At least if developers can register their meta-types then common meta-types won't clash for different products (I can see stuff like 'news item' and 'link' clashing all the time). Perhaps limit registration to developers who have published their product, I know this probably places an additional burden on the already heavily under seige developers, but I think some controls are going to be needed. -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| P:+61 7 3870 0066 | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | F:+61 7 3870 4477 | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au|

IMO, this should be done in each individual Zope server. IE, Zope shouldn't let you have two meta_types called 'News Item'. In combination with this, Products should list their meta types. -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password.

There is a list of product names on http://www.zope.org/Products. If meta-types were to include the product name.... Toby Dickenson tdickenson@geminidataloggers.com
