Zope Corporation is pleased to announce the planned July 31,
2003 launch of the new Zope Community Website which replaces
the current community website at:

The project is the result of the efforts of a great many
people.  While the complete list is too long to enumerate
here we would like to specifically recognize Guido van
Rossum and Sidnei da Silva.

With their efforts this project has finally come to
successful fruition.  Thanks Guido and Sidnei!

Consistent with our NewZopeOrg (NZO) plan, we are now
soliciting volunteers to help with operations, maintenance
and continued enhancements of the zope.org site. The plan is
available online at:
