[Zope-dev] Does creating REAL over-the-web Python code become realistic with Zope 2.4?

No, not really. LocalFS was just an example. The only important thing is
that I can edit something, post it over the web (either from a weg form or
using FTP, WebDAV etc.) and then store it to the filesystem instead of the
ZODB.

BTW LocalFS works fine over the web frontend, and FTP over Zope over LocalFS
is not really necessary in most cases, as you can go directly to the
filesystem with plain FTP anyway. But LocalFS should be fixable to work over
FTP, I think.
