[Zope] FYI: Zope Weekly News

[Amos Latteier]

Hello,

The new Zope.org community portal site went live this week.

  http://www.zope.org/

Currently there are over 600 Members. The new site is focused on
providing a framework for the Zope community to develop and share
on-line resources. The new Zope.org site is running Zope 2 and makes
heavy use of the Portal Toolkit, the Catalog and ZClasses.

  * Evan Simpson's Python Methods product which allows editing of Python
methods through the web got a lot of attention this week. Version 0.1.1
was announced and lots of discussion ensued on the Zope and Zope-dev
lists.
