[Zope-CMF] CMFCollection 0.0.9 (pre alpha development release)

[Grégoire Weber]

Hi all!

I just released a pre alpha version (0.0.9) of CMFCollection. 
It is the initial release. You probably haven't heard about 
CMFCollection before.

CMFCollection allow manual content aggregation by putting 
content in a defined order. A site can be built by exclusively 
using collections. This is as easy a creating documents. 
Different user can be given the rights to aggregate (group) 
content on different subjects. CMFCollections separate the 
process of creating content from the one aggregating content. 
Creators don't have to think about metadata anymore. The site 
structure gets one part of an content objects metadata. 
CMFCollection helps you easyly generating site maps and 
navigation structures.

Originaly I hoped to be able to release a more stable and 
feature rich 0.1 version before the Rotterdam Sprint 
Unfortunately I didn't have time to refactor the code and 
eliminate known bugs. Be aware while looking at the code 
that there are some really dark corners in there :-(.

I opened this pre alpha version to the community to give 
other people the chance to comment on the idea and the 
actual work. Contributiors are welcome.

Just to have it said: The actual version is **not** for
production use!

The actual version is in use on http://www.zope.ch. Development 
will be carried on after the sprint in december. So hold on if 
it is to early for you.

Have a look at the documentation in the content package (the 
bigger one). The documentation contains commented screen shots.
