And so should Plone with any CMF-product - but it doesn't - see above, it 
works perfectly without Plone...

When have you planned to release your own Zope ?

I don't get it... Plone is an complete alternative CMF, that just dosn't 
work - what's the point of that ?

Why can't you work on CMF and make your product work with other products ?

I mean.. i.e. when you install Plone, it just deletes any workflow one 
might have set up, and replaces them with Plone-workflow - hey, there's a 
point in having multiple workflows and because one installs Plone, these 
shouldn't be affected.

I must say that actually your approach to developing in open source, 
reminds me of Microsoft's marketing methods... everything is now bundled 
with Plone and you have taken away my choise... I belive the following 
could be a story about Plone, and the way it affects your Zope installation:


McDonalds' employee: Welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order you please?

Bill Gates: A big mac please.

McDonalds' employee: A big mac, a coke. $2.99.

Bill Gates: Sorry, I ordered just a big mac.

McDonalds' employee: The coke is part of the meal.

Bill Gates: I don't want the coke, just the Big Mac please.

McDonalds' employee: The coke is free and is part of the meal.

Bill Gates: Until recently the Big Mac was priced at $1.99?

McDonalds' employee: But now the Big Mac has new features. It is bundled 
with a coke.

Bill Gates: But I already have something to drink so I don't want the coke.

McDonalds' employee: Then you won't get a Big Mac.

Bill Gates: I will take just the Big Mac and pay $1.99, ok?

McDonalds' employee: You can't separate the parts of the meal. They are 
seamlessly integrated and it would destroy the Big Mac if we seperated them.

-oOo-

Plone: You can't seperate the workflow from our product. It is now 
seamlessly integrated into Plone and Plone would therefore not be Plone 
without it's own workflow... really... come on guys !
