[Zope] LocalFS and the history tab

[Phil Harris]

Tino,

I both understand and agree with all of your comments below, and the more I
look at this the more I'm heading in that direction.

The webs at the moment are fullyfledged FP webs, using all sorts of weird
stuff the FP supports, i.e. private folders (_vti_*), forms with private
data-stores etc.. We're talking about a gig of pages/images etc here, so
it's no simple job to redo all the pages.

I would like, maybe even need, to find a way to serve the files through
Zope.  In time I will be 'migrating' the users (about 1500, all of whom will
have managment rights over specific parts of the site) over to the Zope way
of thinking but that's obviously going to take time.

Oh well, back to the drawing board.

thanks anyway

Phil
