[Zope] ZDESIGN IDEAS = How to improve 'manage' ?

[Spicklemire, Jerry]

Jason mentioned :

things seem to be moving ahead.

There are so many projects it's not really possible to stay on top of it
all, at least for me. Keep in mind that PTK is rapidly approaching v. 1.0,
and for what you have described as your project range, that may have a huge
impact.
