I know (even before I read Michel's and Tim's
messages), that I've mistakenly used the term open
source in my argument.  Perhaps I was thinking of the
fishbowl process DC has put into place to allow a more
open development process and public participation in
decisions in general.  Sorry for the misuse in this
case. I certainly prefer an excellent open source
product with bad naming conventions over a closed
source product with good ones.

I suppose I am most interested in consistent,
representative naming.  With Michel's explanation of
the Python "Method" and generic script, I'm more
comfortable with the name.  I am, however, interested
in what will be done to make ther other "Methods" less
intimidating to new users as Michel argued was one
reason for using Script.  Will we end up with DTML
Documents and DTML Scripts, SQL Scripts, etc.?

Thank you, DC and Zope community, for a great product.
I would use it even if they were called "little bits of
Python code." :-)
