[Zope-dev] Crazy idea: ZClasses

[Shane Hathaway]

It's Friday, so I reserve the right to post crazy ideas. :-)

Ape could revitalize ZClasses.  The biggest problem with ZClasses has 
always been the inability to use version control and other utilities to 
maintain ZClass code.  Ape could fix that by giving developers the 
option of storing ZClass code on the filesystem.  It doesn't allow it 
now, but it could without huge effort.

I thought of this a couple of weeks ago.  I pushed it out of my mind 
because Zope 3 will eliminate the need for ZClasses, but the idea kept 
coming back.  So if anyone wants to take this on, I'll provide 
direction, but I don't plan to do it all myself.
