[Zope-Annce] FYI: Zope Weekly News

[Amos Latteier]

Hello,

It's been a exciting week in Zopeland. The Zope community is cooking up
a lot of great stuff! Martijn Fassan and Anthony Pfrunder are working on
xml-based content formatting and behavior projects. Ty Sarna is pushing
Zope's database capabilities by adding Berkeley DB support. It's hard to
keep up with all the great new Zope products and documentation. As
always Zope.org is the best place to look for most of the exciting new
stuff.

  * Anthony Pfrunder announced his VisualZope Product which looks quite
interesting, though it is very early in development at this point.
VisualZope is a collection of ZClasses to provide easy support for
javascript/DHTML within the Zope environment.
