[Zope-dev] Re: Interest in "AdvancedQuery" and/or "ManagableIndex"?

First let me say, that I'm in favour to add these products to Zope in  
some form, to take the chance to enhance the zcatalog significantly.

That's clearly a point to make clear, that splitting the code or to  
do big refactorings needs someone with deep knowledge of the code and  
its dependancy into the cataloging framework.

Another point is that for example hurry is already using parts of the  
code. So there are possibilities to look for integration in zope3 too.
