[Zope-CMF] Archetypes without Plone

[Geoff Davis]

Probably the biggest Plone dependency that Archetypes has is that it uses
Plone 1.0's form validation/navigation machinery.  I have now factored the
mechanism out of Plone and have created a much improved, standalone
framework called CMFFormController.  CMFFormController should work fine with
vanilla CMF 1.4 (and with 1.3.1 provided you follow the steps in the
README).  It is currently slated to replace the existing Plone 1.0 form
validation/navigation framework some time during the Plone 1.1 development
cycle.  The Archetypes folks have also expressed interest in switching to
CMFFormController, which would help remove the Plone dependencies, but that
probably won't happen for Archetypes 1.0.

You can learn more about CMFFormController here:

and you can download it from here:

Hello,

I'm trying to use Archetypes and I18NLayer for translating content objects.
Now it works fine in a Plone site, but I want to use it in a basic CMF site.
Isn't that possible ?

Archetypes does some importing from Plone.
I have tried to change those import to import similar stuff from CMF, but
got
a lot of errors out of that :-(

Anyone using Archetypes without Plone ?
