[Zope-dev] SiteAccess improvements

[Gary Poster]

Thanks Dieter!  You're quite right, that sounds like it would work--and it
is something I wouldn't have thought of, so good to have a reminder of
acquisition magic in somewhat different contexts

I've got a beta of the non-UI features of my replacement already, and since
I've invested some work in it and I think it would be a more graceful
solution in the end anyway (YMMV) I'm going to go ahead with it.  Still,
really much appreciated.  Planning to release my clunky early beta within
the week; I'd love to hear your suggestions on it when it comes out.

Thanks again.

Gary
