yes "pull" is the option (and word) i'm searching for, thanks!
some code would be great, if possible both the new Product and diffs.

Doesn't this collide with some security concepts?
If you are able to compromise XML-RPC via network your whole Zope=20
system is open through ZSyncer (via compromised External Methods).=20
