[Zope-dev] A modest proposal: Replace medusa with Twisted

[Phil Harris]

But kosh, we all know your hatred of all things Microsoft.

You're absolutely right, it could be fixed, and probably should be as well.

Thing is that from what I see win32 is the most popular platform for Zope
(I'm including experimenters here though, not just production sites).
Anyone from ZC want to comment on that.
