I don't know who knows anybody at B&N, but maybe the authors of the ZOPE
related books can all call the booksellers and get them to put the Zope books
in the correct section!
Currently, B&N keeps the ZOPE books in the Networking systems section, a
hodge podge of books that have absolutely nothing to do with Web App
development.
I brought this to the attention of the section manager, and, although he
agreed with me, he told me there are other people higher up the food chain
that decide these things, and that he could not move them. The computer
inventory system would have to tell him where to put the books.
There is a Web Development section, and a Languages section. Either one
would be more apropos for Zope books.
The Python section has grown considerably, and if placed in the language
section, would be within a shelf of the well-browsed python language books.
The Web development section is fairly huge, and mostly related to various
ASP, PHP, and other tools, and, given it's size, would be harder to stand out
in, although it would be a more apropriate section. On the plus side, being
at the END of a section (Z) is a good thing.
So, after having to browse EVERY section at B&N, and finding Zope in the
'wrong' one, I'd like it to be easier for EVERYONE to find these books.
Enough said, just wanting to let somebody know. I tried, now it's the
communities turn!
