sure. also a similiar implementation is being used in
my development of a zope2 based python repository, so
it will definitely be actively supported.

i've looked over the code for new.zope.org, i think
there are some similarities to the python repository,
which is not cmf based. i think the new.zope.org
codebase could benefit from some of the work being
done on the python-repository. but i don't have time
to spend on integration between the two as the
repository is my primary focus, and i don't see much
off hand that the repository could use from
new.zope.org (perhaps the DateTime catalog indexes).

cheers
