Hi, I've been watching Zope since it went Open Source and I'm absolutely fascinated by the possibilities. Great software. Who knows, I might be able to contribute to the comunity sometime...

Still, there's problems here and there: I have two zope installations running. One that I use for a normal web site and a cvs version (i.e. 2.x) for testing. The former runs Zope 2.10.2. I'm currently trying to find a way to copy the contents to the new Zope system. Exporting from the "older" Zope to a *.bbe file is no problem. If the "new" Zope (ZServer, I believe) is started with the -2 switch (python z2.py -2), I can import the content from the *.bbe file and work with it. But the contents are only visible in Zope if Zope is started with the -2 switch. In ZODB3 mode the contents are not visible. Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a way to copy content from a ZODB2 to a ZODB3 system?

Use the conversion script utilities/bbb.py that comes with Zope 2b. Run it with no arguments to get a list of arguments and usage. It can both convert a whole ZODB2 database and a ZODB2 .bbe export database to ZODB3 format. -Michel
