[Zope-dev] ZODB manager project?

[David Kankiewicz]

Has anyone been working on a interface that includes the size (size of
undo's, etc.) of objects?  There was a discussion awhile back that brought
something like this up.

I was wondering what the best approach to this would be and generally what
people would want?
Ideas like:
object management (different management views with their sub items listed
for direct singular access)
more history/versions management
directory/item packing options  (for lets say publicly modifiable objects
that need to be checked before the page/directory is packed)
general views of the states of objects (in memory, on disk, version
modified, etc)
what attributes/objectIds are there
what additional permissions would some of these require (if any)?

Some of these ideas target larger sites that might allow different people
to maintain areas of the web site.


I know that most of the stuff is in Zope already and just needs to be
worked with and interfaced.

I'm just getting into python and Zope but would like to contribute were I
can. Right now that includes working with Zope and Python (that includes
learning to think in Python) to learn more about the internal objects, etc..

Any ideas and responses would be appreciated.

P.S. All the web sites (like weblogs, sourceXchange.com etc., etc.), IMHO,
would be so easy to implement with Zope, especially as it gets more
organized preojects going :)
