[Zope] FYI: Zope Weekly News

[Pam Crosby]

Hello,

We had several discussions on the mailing list as to the gender of Zope.
It's an 'it'.  For a relatively quiet, vacation week, we had another
beta release, some HowTo's and two announcements. 

CNET mentioned Zope favorably in Dan Shafer article about Python. Also,
Linux Today mention the same article.

A mailing list strictly for the purposes of discussing E-Commerce
solutions using Zope has been established.  It's called ZCommerce.
Anyone who is interested in subscribing can either go to
  http://lists.codeit.com/mailman/listinfo/zcommerce to subscribe, or
email zcommerce-request@codeit.com with 'subscribe' as the subject to be
added to the list.

Until next week, Amos will be back!
