I would add that I made up the Zope2 server implementation, sorry I did
not announce it on the list. Works perfectly for Zope and Plone. It is
currently tested only with Zope 2.7, did not try it on 2.8.

You can read more about the Zope2 implementation and download it at: 

http://www.zope.org/Members/ree/jsonserver2

I also added some simplistic but fully functional examples that help you
start with it.

I would encourage everyone using it for Zope/Plone. In case of bugs or
suggestions, please mail directly to me.

I also plan to make some minor update to catch up with newest version of
jsolait, as soon as I have some free time. Also I would like to add some
yet simple but more real-life examples that would also include usage with
Zope, Plone and Archetypes. If you have any good idea for this, please
also write to me.

Thanks,
