Update of /cvs-repository/Zope3/src/zope/configuration/tests/products_/contact
In directory cvs.zope.org:/tmp/cvs-serv30798/src/zope/configuration/tests/products_/contact

Removed Files:
	__init__.py contact.py 
Log Message:
Major refactoring of the configuration system.  Now use a totally new
architecture based on:

- Using schema to describe directive attributes

- Treating most configuration handlers as decorators of configuration
  contexts.

The benefits of this are:

- Conversion of directive input can be automated.

- Much better error reporting. We can now tell people
  what attributes are missing, are extra, or have invalid
  values.

- It's possible to extend existing directives without modifying them.
  Extending subdirectives can even be in different namespaces, if
  desired.

- There is a includeOverrides directive for including files that
  contain directives overriding directives in other files.

- It is possible to have many more sorts of "grouping" directives.
  This will allow things like directives that provide defaults for
  other directives and perhaps even some sort of macro system.

The basic refactoring is done, but there are a number of things to be
done:

- Write new documentation on how to write directives the new and
  better way.

- Update the documentation generation tool to use the new
  configuration framework.

- Add i18n support. This was the motivation for the refactoring. Now
  this is easy. :)
