Hi all, I know you have not heard from me in some time, I must admit I am also
involved in another project as well, the Plone project, a CMF for use with Zope.
plone.org
I have a bunch of work I did to cleanup and abstract things in the weblet. I will try
in the near future to get back into things and attempt to merge my work in with others
in a way that makes sense.
