I'm double checking with them right now. Take a look at the copyright verbage on each book page to see what I'm talking about. As soon as the book is published it will go under an open content license and we'll make PDF, and probably other formats available. At that time you'll also be able to convert the book to whatever formats you want and redistribute it as you wish.

I believe that O'Reilly doesn't want the book redistributed before it is printed. I'll recheck with them. Take a look at the copyright stuff info on each page. Luckily the book will soon be under an open content license, and then you'll be free to do what ever you wish.

[Zope] RE: Zope Tutorial

Here's what to do: * Get Zope 2.2, download it, install it. * Log in to Zope with the super user account. * Create a manager account by going to the User Folder and adding a new user, and giving them the Manager role. * Quit your browser to log out. * Log into Zope as the manager you just created. * Create a Zope Tutorial, by adding it from the product add list. * Now do the tutorial. Good luck! -Amos -- Amos Latteier mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
[Zope] ANN: Forthcoming Zope Book
Hi, We all know that Zope needs better docs. To this end we've added a help system, API docs and a tutorial to Zope 2.2. Now the important work of replacing the aging guides is job number one. Michel Pelletier has been diligently working on a Zope book for O'Reilly for a number of months. I convinced him to take me on as a co-author and turn the book into official Zope documentation. O'Reilly is on board and is currently choosing between two different open content licenses. Find out the full scoop on the Zope Docs Wiki. http://www.zope.org/Wikis/Docs/ZopeBook We're excited about the book and think that it will fill an important hole the current official Zope docs. As soon as a content license is chosen we'll make our rough drafts available. -Amos -- Amos Latteier mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

I can easily fix the "order" issue, but I am so far unable to reproduce the JavaScript error. Can you give me more information about your platform, the error message and what steps you took to achieve the error? If you do things differently (like create an instance of the tutorial with the product add list) does the tutorial work? Thanks! -Amos -- Amos Latteier mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
RE: [Zope] The agony of the ZOPE Documentation

I know that Zope's documentation is frustrating. However, I generally find searches on Zope.org to be helpful. I've forwarded your concerns to the Zope.org webmaster. I'd like to share some what Michel Pelletier and I have been doing to improve Zope documentation. * We conducted a poll to help us determine what was most needed. We found out that Zope docs are of middling quality and folks most want new user help. * We wrote an online help system for Zope and wrote help content for all management screens. Right now we are updating this content for Zope 2.2. The help system will ship with Zope 2.2 and an alpha is available right now. * We've started a Zope API documentation process. Right now there is an extensive Zope API documentation wiki on Zope.org. The fruits of this labor will be API docs that will ship with Zope in the online help system. Right now several API docs are complete and are included in the current 2.2 alpha. * We've overhauled Zope training materials and will make them available publicly in the next week or so. * We're still working on Zope Guides and References replacements. I think that the training materials will be quite useful for this effort. I hope to have Guide and Reference replacements done by the end of the summer. Thanks for listening. If you have specific comments or questions about Zope documentation, please don't hesitate to let me know at [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Amos -- Amos Latteier mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
