AW: AW: AW: AW: [Zope3-Users] z3c.form - howto ignore the contextfor singlewidgets in an Edit form?

[David Pratt]

Hi Roger. You make great points here for why those serious about zope's 
potential really ought to consider explicit configuration. I also 
believe taking time to understand configuration, dependencies and what 
is actually being configured is better that implicitly trusting 
something automatic to do the right thing.

Implicit automatic configuration is a good starting point howeverfor 
folks just starting z3 as you have pointed out but it is best for to 
learn this for the reasons you cited and more.

Good points about concise packages with specific functionality also.

Regards,
David
