Hi Mikko,

Is it just my, but I can't get the link open even after registering
myself to mindmeister (gives me my dashboard page)?
Mmm... that sucks. I had some trouble signing up, too. Did you use
openid? I think I did at first, and it was a bit broken.
Can you try this URL instead?

That should work even if you're not logged in. At least I think so.
In any case here is the old discussion from docs list from while ago:

Note that API does not only include Python API, but all templates and
CSS classes are basically undocumented. There already exist javadocs
like CSS documentation frameworks. But as long as it takes <tal:comment
replace="nothing"> </tal:comment> overhead to write a comment in TAL we
have little hope that anyone could ever bother to write comments there.
This is a problem, but not one that I want to solve with this specific
effort. The stuff that's in CSS and TAL is different (it's something you
may need to understand to customise, rather than something you call
directly). There is a small number of re-usable macros/views that may be
worth listing, but let's not worry about them for now. To keep this task
managable, I only want to focus

- any APIs that you use regularly that are not captured
- any APIs that you use regularly that you hate (whether on the
list or not)
PloneTestCase has too less functionality out of the box and you have to
reinvent the functionality for every test case/product - also it has
tons of partially documented boiler plate code which is very fragile and
does not give meaningful error results.
+1. We should have a catagory for 'testing' I guess. That may be quite a
big one, even.
PTC could have functions e.g. for:
- Automatic product/package/layer/whatever initialization without
boilerplate
- MailHost mocking
- Sane error output for functional tests
- Security testing (test code executed under RestrictedPython)

How to register and manipulate Z3 registeries (adapters, subscribers,
viewlets, views) from Python in Plone context.
Actually, I would discourage this. Maybe some functions should be
mentioned under the 'testing' banner, and possibly some of the
introspection stuff would be useful, but we should be careful.
Five/site awarness/etc. adds extra complexity for this and Zope 3
> documents cannot be applied
for Plone as is.
Are you sure? I'm pretty sure the basic zope.component APIs work just
fine in Plone.
Basically all can be done with magic multi adapter
queries as long as you would know the parameter list and the right
site(?) to call.
I don't understand this sentence. Manipulating registries does not
require that you look up any multi adapters as far as I know?
