Hello Zopistas,

I am excited to announce a Zope Directions Roadmap.

  http://dev.zope.org/Resources/ZopeDirections.html

This document summarizes current thinking at DC about where the Zope
platform is going from an architectural point of view. It summarizes
informal conversations that we've been having internally for the past
couple months.

This paper talks about how we'd like to improve Zope to make it easier
for developers. It puts some existing initiatives (e.g. Presentation
Templates, and CMF) in context, and discusses potential future projects
like moving to a component architecture.

I should point out that this document is not a concrete plan so much as
a statement of what's on our minds. Zope development will continue to
operate openly in the fishbowl. 

We'd love to hear what you have to say. Are we heading in the right
direction? Is there something else that we should be doing instead to
help developers? Let us know. And when we begin new fishbowl projects
(look for a component architecture project soon) jump in and help define
Zope's future!

-Amos
