[Zope-CMF] Re: Some first steps with CMF2

[David Pratt]

Hi Yuppie. I use CMF only and already have my own main_template, 
templates, portlets, etc. This is good but the initiative I want to take 
has more to do with something more modern and new that would also 
involve the evolving AJAX framework that will be included in the Z3ECM.

I'll spend a bit of time with this to see what it will need but like I 
say, when it comes to the bridge itself, I will likely need help. Like 
Yens has indicated, this would likely mean an add on product but I feel 
it is one of the only viable solutions to move into total Z3 views and 
Z3 portlets together with CMF. But also something very nice.

Regards
David
