[Zope] ANN: ZEO goes Open Source

[Paul Everitt]

Note that what you're describing isn't really part of ZEO, it's really
more in the realm of what is already in Zope.  Thus, if you're eager to
add such a feature, you already have what you need.  Start tinkering
with the transaction machinery and see how you can extend it.
