To add some more background on this point, Zope would like to be less of an island in the Python community. I think Zope has much to offer, especially in Zope 3, where interesting parts can be used in isolation. I also think Zope has lots to gain from Python and other Python web frameworks. There's tons of exciting stuff going on in the Python web frameworks space. Finally, I think Python itself is facing strong competition in Python web frameworks. We (the Python web frameworks) should recognize this and work together more to tell a better story. Having a Zope mini-event inside the EuroPython main event has worked well for a number years. I think times have changed, though, and we should all hang out together and listen to what the others have to offer. --Paul _______________________________________________ EuroPython mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
