*we* know that, but any sane human being wondering past won't.

See comment above ;-)

Everyone seems in agreement that "Zope Framework" is fine, and 4.0 would 
be a good idea as a version number to make that official and clear.

I'd like to see a list of possible names for "Zope 2" and "Zope 3" 
collected (I'm happy to do this) and put to a vote of the foundation 
membership *soon* and then we can get on with actually using the new 
names once you (as currently leader of the Zope world ;-) ) have made an 
announcement.

cheers,

Chris
