bluebream 1.0b4
---------------

The Zope Toolkit 1.0a3 has been released yesterday,
Are you ok for a BlueBream 1.0b4 release tonight?
(tonight means around 10pm UTC)

Could you please make a check? I've made a few changes :

- cleaned up the package list and version file
(btw, are we sure we don't need zope.app.xmlrpcintrospection?)
- fixed the online version checking (minor versions only)
- depend on  ZTK 1.0a3

It would also be nice to fix the permission problem on the "welcome" demo app: 
when we click on "add a sample app", we get a permission error. We should be 
redirected to the login page.

community packages
------------------

I've not yet added the community packages, I'm still wondering whether this is 
relevant or not. Grok already has its own list, and I really dont know which 
packages to add and why. We should try to share the list and the tests with 
everybody.

Nevertheless, I've created a branch with a package list compiled with all the 
emails, and I've separated the working packages. I'm sure most failing packages 
could be fixed quite easily.

what about a Giant Buildbot?
----------------------------

I'm thinking of an alternative solution, which is creating a giant buildbot 
which would test each package against all combinations of its dependencies, and 
with all versions of Python, creating a large multidimensional matrix, from 
which we could automatically extract a working set. (Okay I'm trying to find 
another excuse to play with Numpy :) ).
