That's right and that's what i'll need to do : a CustomizationPolicy.

I'm examining Plone's source but as a newbie to Python, Zope and Plone,=20
i have to examine many tutorials, books, scripts, etc at a time and i=20
have a serious disability, i'm using W!ndows.
Do you know that the search function of this os can't search a string in=20
.py file like unix's grep could do ? So when i'm searching references to=20
functions called from various modules, i must open all the files and=20
search inside each one.
So, from time to time i ask questions to have a path or a kick and to=20
not give up.
But, by having to search in all modules, i think i'll finally have a=20
large vision of the whole system.

Thank's for your help.
