Hello:
I am looking for a way to schedule events within my Zope-based web
application.  Here are my requirements:
- Zope 2.5.1 platform
- Win/UNIX/Linux compatibility
- Ability to view and modify scheduled events
- repeating and one-time events
- ZPT based or integratable
- Easy to integrate into my application
     (e.g. event executes my method, I can display lists
     of pending events within my own custom forms)
It looks like there are two likely options:
http://cvs.zope.org/Products/Scheduler
-vs-
http://www.zope.org/Members/lstaffor/Xron
The Xron product release is almost a year old,
but Scheduler seems to be only available via CVS.
Can anyone comment as to the maturity/stability
of these products?  Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
