[Zope-dev] Zope3 on Google AppEngine

[David Pratt]

Interesting post. I am still not sure to what level I'll look to Google 
for app infrastructure. Seems to me there are too many restrictions on 
what you'd really be able to deploy and then you're stuck with married 
to what they've got for better or worse. On the other hand, Stripping 
zope to the minimum has certainly been an eye opener and certainly 
beneficial to get to a bare bones idea of what you could run with (with 
or without Google) though. Many thanks for sharing your efforts on this.

Regards,
David
