Why isn't zGold published at the zope.org site like the rest of the products? Is it still usable? Can someone send me a copy, since the site that hosts zGold won't come up? Thanks -- Lucas Vogel lucas7@home.com ICQ: 44697169
Hi Lucas, I am the original author of zGold, and I'd like to explain where it came from and what happened to it subsequently. zGold was originally written as an exercise of learning and also as an example site for a conference/exhibition here in the UK. At creation time there was no intention of releasing it to the public at large. It was however made available purely as a 'teaching aid'. Subsequently it was proved that there was a serious security hole in it that allowed users to see the clear-text passwords/usernames of other users. Also since this was created in my 'spare time', I have had no further time to allocate to it and it has sort of died of neglect. That being said, I still have the original tarball hanging around and anyone who wants it can mail me and I'll get it sent out. caveat: zGold is not supported in anyway and is not 'production' ready. Use it at your own risk. I will not be liable/responsible for any/all problems it may cause. Thanks for listening.
