[Zope] [Zope-dev] Zope 4.0, maybe not such a bad idea...

Well, not quite, I think as long as any *one* of the bits uses the word 
"Zope" on its own, there will be confusion...

I've already floated:

Zope 2 the app server -> Zope Classic
Zope 3 the app server -> Zope Advanced

Andreas doesn't like the former and two of the main people I thought 
cared about "Zope 3 the app server" say they don't.

More suggestions please!

How about "Zope 2 the app server" -> Zope TAS 4.0?
Or even Zope Taz 4.0? Then we get a cute mascot :-)

I don't think "the developers" actually care what you use ;-)

That's not actually true, I just think it's evil to lead users down a 
path (Zope 2 the app server on its own) when there are better (Grok, 
Django, hell even Plone) available.

cheers,
