[Zope] Suggestion for improving http://www.zope.org/

[Steele, Frank]

I am trying to pick up Zope, and very impressed with it as a tool. 

I have one complaint with the Zope site, however.....

Now that there are starting to be dozens of Zope products, the flat representation at http://www.zope.org/Products doesn't work so well. Older (but still useful) products aren't listed (e.g. TinyTable) -- the current oldest is mid-September. Additionally, all you have to go by is the name of the product, which sometimes isn't descriptive (Webstar). 

Obviously, if you know what you're looking for, you can just search the text of the update posting. Some of us, however, don't know what we're looking for :->.

It would be nice to be able to view by: submission date and some sort of functional keyword(s) (DAs, logging, ad and page tracking, import/export, user handling, etc.). It would also be nice if on the listing pages, there were a capsule description, so people could quickly eliminate products that don't apply to their situation.

It would also be incredible (I'm working on doing this for an internal documentation site) to allow people (maybe members-only) to subscribe to a product.

Subscribers get e-mail notification when a product gets updated. They might also be able to subscribe to how-tos, tips and documentation updates for that specific product.
