Me too.  I have a hard time figuring out what repoze is and I don't  
necessarily want to go swimming to find out. :) Is the repose  
publisher described somewhere?

I would like to create a 21st-century Bobo and this minimal publisher  
is part of that plan.  If I create a new Bobo, I want it's  
requirements to be minimal.  I don't want to depend on something as  
big as repoze seems to be.
