A few high-level comments. 1. I admire your desire to make this clearer. :) 2. I think local configuration address use cases that most people don't have but introduce complexity that I bet a lot of developers trip over. 3. I think the right word here is "local registry". I think the whole

zope.locusts? I don't think locus is an improvement to site. Although site is not strictly correct, it's often the fact that it is a site. Locus doesn't say anything, and adds another abstraction with no obvious benefit. A longer name is better in that case. Like componentlocation or registration

2009-05-28 Thread Martijn Faassen
Hi there, We have a concept of "Site" in the Zope Toolkit, along with SiteManager and the like. What this concept allows us to do is locally register components. Most typically this is used for local utilities such as a catalog. During traversal, a thread-local is set with the current site, so
