[Zope] [ANN] Zwiki 0.31 released, news

[Simon Michael]

Hi all,

summer is coming; the "june edition" is ready for download at 
http://zwiki.org .

Summary:
Much i18n progress including a number of new translations; tracker
cleanups and usability improvements; permissions fixes; tests,
code cleanups, bugfixes.
( http://zwiki.org/ReleaseNotes )

This was the month where internationalisation finally took hold, 
assisted greatly by the work of Nicolas aka Foenyx. We have PTS-based 
i18n support working for python code, page templates, dtml templates and 
dtml pages, in and out of CMF/Plone.  Localizer support code has not 
been removed at this point, it could be made to work as an alternative 
but on the whole I prefer PTS's po-file approach.

Thanks to Nicolas and the other translators who have stepped forward 
this month, including Lele Gaifax, T.C.Chou, Jean Rodrigo Ferri and 
Raphael Badin. 0.31 is the first release where translators have 
something solid to work with, so if you want to help with other 
languages it's a great time to get in contact on #zwiki and at  
http://zwiki.org/InternationalisationDiscussion . Current translation 
status is at http://zwiki.org/Chapter26Internationalisation .

zwiki.org discussion has been relatively light this month. There are 
awkward technical/usability aspects to the current setup and I'm 
thinking about ways to simplify and concentrate discussion a bit. Ideas 
welcome at http://zwiki.org/UserDiscussion . Spam comments passed the 
annoyance threshold this month and an preventive feature has been added 
(banned_links).

Thanks to the usual zwiki.org crew for bug reports, suggestions and 
tips. And finally, thanks to George Donnelly and Zettai.net for fueling 
the engines with a donation. If you want to add your financial muscle to 
the project, see http://zwiki.org/ZwikiFunding or get in touch by mail 
or irc.

Be well,
-Simon

PS - I'm trying the zope list this month as zope-announce appears to be 
not so widely read and last month's post didn't show up.
