[Zope-dev] Heads up: Zope Framework -> Zope Toolkit

[Martijn Faassen]

Hi there,

The Zope Framework is now renamed to be the "Zope Toolkit".

"Framework" proved to be a controversial name that implies a range of 
things to people we do not want to imply - in particular that you have 
to buy into the whole in order to use some of its parts.

Zope Toolkit is a more neutral name that still implies we manage this as 
a whole, but doesn't imply you have to buy into the whole in order to 
use some of the parts. The Zope Toolkit contains a lot of libraries and 
frameworks, and also an overarching approach to how such frameworks are 
generally constructed (the component architecture).

We now therefore have a Zope Toolkit Steering Group. :)

Regards,

Martijn
