I haven't looked at ZPT at all yet, simply because I did not have to and 
usually my DTML is minimal, since I develop all logical features in Python 
in anyway.
However, now that it becomes Zope Core Component that might be a possible 
choice. How do you think will ZPT be better (other than that DTML is not 
the future)? I just installed ZPT on the Mailman-Zope installation. I would 
like someone on the mailing list to convert the manage_admin.dtml script to 
manage_admin_zpt (I created the bare script already) inside this Zope 
Installation. I will give you the necessary access once you reply.

Mmmh, actually, if you (anyone) is willing to work on it, what the heck, I 
give you FTP access (the restriction is that I have to know you from 
previous discussions) to the Zope Tree/Products as well, so you can start 
making some progress there as well.

I will not have much time until exams are over, so I do not want to kill 
the momentum I seem to have generated (seeing my personal Inbox). I welcome 
everyone to help with the coding and will do my best to support you.

Regards,
Stephan
