[Zope-dev] How long below the radar?

2001-07-11 Thread jimbo

Hold that thought.  In order to fully answer the question I have to ask myself why I 
choose to use a below the radar system in the first place. I'ts said that nothings 
truly *Free* as in product advertising everything has its cost.  When we look at the 
*cost* compared to other systems Zope/Python wins hands down in all the *right* areas. 
 Its just plain abuse of money and power that keeps Zope/Python where it is. Does'nt 
matter if it's coming from this camp or another something must be done soon. It boils 
down to this.
  Back in the old days if you had something faster, quicker, and better you cleary 
would be the winner.  Too many people were worried about their evestments so of course 
they stuck with the *hot* tickets.  But it would be too expensise to go head to head 
with the big boys no I think that true interprise is going to be in turmoil.  For 
Instance now that things like MCSE, and CISCO are now part of public college 
institutions that means what?  The climate is such that if its not Microsoft or Sun 
forget it.  I'm not knocking either company I support them 100%.  But here's my 
example.
  I'm taking a course at a local college and I sit next to a guy that says he only 
needs to get his MCSE and he will be gainfully employed.  I asked him if he felt the 
need to learn any programming languages and he said no. I doubt very much that this 
person would ever be inclined to select anything Zope/Python. The big companies spent 
their money well. Do like they do.DC needs to create Zope Certificatied 
Desginer/Technicans and shops.  Make it commercial *looking* as *freely* possible.
  Ok back to whats wrong with it. Secure E-commerce Support out the box is one thing. 
I think we need to hear more of zope coming from out of the major players mouth as a 
major player.
  Or is it?  There are quite a few choices out there, but what really makes 
Zope/Python the clear winner.  They already have most of the commercial qualities 
needed to be the best of the best. 
We have to make them see the value. like Red Hat Distros, Certifications, and  plug 
and play software.  Things like Talk shows would be nice.

Hey I got dibs on the Zope Certification/Testing center track/fishbowl/proposal thing 
if one doesnt already exist?  and it's possible for a 3rd party to do such a thing.

The thing that I can't understand is that in my state the government workers 
threatened to strike, and dot-coms failed because of money problems. They also have 
millions tied up in building a technology center. My thing is that Things like 
Zope/Python should be taught/used right along side the others in the schools.  DC 
should be sending free to schools an easy to install package that allows them to have 
some limited *commercial* looking front-end. If they can actually see and feel and 
*burn* copies of an actuall cool looking product CD with all the products on the CD.

I need some sleep,
Cheerio

[Zope-dev] How long below the radar?

2001-07-11 Thread jimbo

Case in point.

I'm at my local technical college library looking for material.  No books on UML or 
Python. Ok fine they don't teach either one. They don't plan on carring a copy of the 
Zope book when it comes out.

btw wondering when do the people that won *free*  copies get theirs.
  I should be on that list.
I made suggestions on what I could do to petition/campaign them to carry the book, and 
they said write something up.
  Personally when I think of *library* I think of a respository of tidbits of 
information stored in some manner for me to conviently access.  Zope is free for 
anyone to access and use. It is a tool and it is knowledge.
  Something must be wrong if the library is skewed towards closed source commercial 
products because students aren't getting the *big* picture.

  If you asked me and I were in charge of and the leader of OSS I would go after half. 
If commercial products are going to be in public schools like Cisco, and Microsoft, 
then so should OSS. This way if you shoot for half you'll end up with something.


Doing my part,

[Zope-dev] Best Free UML, XMI, Zope/Transwarp tools

2001-06-28 Thread jimbo

I've been  looking for a standard *FREE* tool that I can use to design Zope apps.  I 
think my search is over.  It seems to be a good tool for students because it's free 
and comes with support for Java, Persistence and XMI, Full and partial exchange.

  I wonder if Transwarp is at the point of being able to use UML/XMI stuff.

[Zope-dev] ] [Announce] API Documentation Fishbowl Project

I have to disagree with you **in the context of this thread** for two 
reasons:

Why disagree **in the context of this thread** at all?
Alot of things change quickly in this field, so flexibility is a must to me.


 1. DC has done a lot to improve the documentation for non-developers  in the 
 last year.  The Zope Book(s) should have a major impact when they start to 
 appear on shelves in the next month or so.  

My point

Developer documentation has lagged behind.  

There still is alot of progress being made in that direction



 This thread is about a proposal to improve developer 
documentation.  It says nothing at all about the other *existing* efforts 
by DC and others to improve other types of Zope documentation.

I think you have a misunderstanding of freedom and opensource all in one topic.  I'm 
don't follow you here since I know it helps to get feeback from users of a product. 
I'm talking about improving the API documentation.

  I seriously wonder how good that API is going to do me if I can't use it in the 
workplace today or next week.
Everyday I see post like this
http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-cmf/2001-June/007427.html

excerpt
I'm having trouble using the Guard expression in DCWorkflow 0.2.
Everything else works fine; it's a great product.

I think the call to expr() in the ..
I do not really know what I'm doing there... but it works :)




   My point is Python is/was suppose to be this language so easy and simple that it 
should be the first language to teach a person.  Where does that simplicity get lost 
with Zope I wonder?
  Don't even answer because it does'nt matter to me or the other it departments that 
are going with other solutions.

  So go on while the confusion is there. Go ahead and justify it now by saying 
polishing the API will do it for the masses. When you look at the big picture the 
developer is the smallest user group of any software product.( you have the end-user, 
testers, admins,etc)
That's why it's even more important to make sure the API docs make it easy to 
implement something and not wow this is so cool and has so many features without the 
benefits.

I also think a pretty good example is what Ty and Phillip did with ZPatterns.  They 
had plenty of how-to implement in the API Documentation. It did take alittle while 
though, but thanks many times over for the learning experience it was fun.

In other words half scientific facts(This is)/ half hocus pocus(Do This).



2. One of the main points DC made at this years Python conference was that 
they have tried to focus the Zope core on too many audiences at once.  
Yes a problem.


They 
had to have a clearer focus and chose developers as that focus.  

Of course they did.  We're talking about Core services here.  Like I said before 
once again I think it's the impletation part I'm stuck on.



Of course 
I like this choice because I am a developer, but the more important point 
is that this tighter focus has the potential to make life easier for all of 
us.

No just developers.  You can call it what you want, but it is a tool that developers 
can use to get a job done.  Content mangers and other network admin types about the 
API anyway.  I imagine most if not all of zope users are progammers in some sense.

Incremental restructuring of the Zope core and improved Zope developer 
documentation makes it much easier and more practical for DC and others to 
create layered Zope products that address other communities.  


Seems to be my point also.  Perhaps I stepped in some fishpoo and need to learn how to 
get involved with the Fishbowl process.


Thanks,
Jimbo

[Zope-dev] [Announce] API Documentation Fishbowl Project

2001-06-06 Thread jimbo

I hope this helps. I wanted to add my feelings on the whole documentation issue.  It 
seems to me that the whole process caters around developers too much. I gotta tell you 
I loved Zope the moment I found it.  These days I'm having trouble though wondering 
what is it all for? I've used zope for the past few jobs and the customers did not 
have any interest in using zope so they changed the sites. 

  I believe that if you are a true developer you will/can figure out the api given the 
vast information available today.
  For example the dcworkflow product was just released. I believe the best 
documentation would be  how-to actually use the product.

One thing would be to adjust the documentation to spoon-feed to the masses zope and 
all the wonderful things that people can do with it now!

If you spend too much on wooing developers and not the types doing the hiring, you 
might just end up being a small niche serving hobbiest who do this for fun.

  Please don't banish this wonderful product to Eternal Geekdom by not simplifing the 
documentation by putting together concrete examples on how to implement concepts and 
products.

In short enough geek speek.  Change the language into something the rest of masses can 
understand.  How can I use zope/API to get PAID!  How can I actually make the 
dcworkflow or the core session or the ZPT do something.  Plenty of example uses. I 
think they might call them case studies or something to that effect.



Thanks,

[Zope-dev] Re: [Zope] [BUG] Background processes interfere with Zope's HTTP responses

2000-12-19 Thread jimbo

  He reported, that this response page is build only
  half, then stops, to be completed only half a minute later,

Depending on how long the page is I never  see the bottom. When I use the products 
page I have to refresh 2-3 times to see the bottom part.
  This is thru a proxy only.


  I try to reproduce the behaviour in our test environment
  and fail. I do not have to wait, until the newsletter
  generation finished. Then, I use the official service
  URL and see, I observe the same behaviour.
  The difference: in the test environment, the browser
  connects directly to ZServer; with the official
  URL, it connects via a proxy.

  Puzzling!

I'm having this same sort of problem w/Zope 2.3a1.
I just started trying to use Zope through a proxy.

  If I work directly on the machine I have no problems.


How to fix the problem:

  There should be a (file) control "CloseOnExec", that tells
  Unix to automatically close the file like object upon
  an exec.
  ZServer should probably use it on each of its sockets.
  I can not see a serious application that should have
  direct access to ZServer's HTTP request socket.
I will soon file a bug report into the Collector.

Re: [Zope] A groupware package for zope

2000-12-19 Thread jimbo

For the last couple of months I've been working on a groupware
package for Zope, named ZopeGUM.  It has reached version
0.1.63 now, and it's in steady progress.

Are you planning on making a win32 version.
I had a problem tring to run it.  
Something about posix module missing.


Just to clarify this.  Windows NT is posix compliant
so it seems to work ok on that platform. 9x lacks the posix support. I just verified 
on both systems.
  I believe there are ways to change the code but I'm not sure it's worth it for Win9x.
  It looks good and since I now have it on my NT machine you can expect
more feedback.

[Zope] Does Zope 2.3 Alpha run on Python 2.0?

2000-12-12 Thread jimbo

 Just a thought.  About a month ago this would have sounded far 
 fetched, but now that Guido is in the house, when might we expect 
 the Zope Python version to change from 1.5.2 to 2.x?  Imho for 
 the book the Python version for Zope should at least be 2.xa1 
  It seems to me that by the time the book is finalized your team 
 could deliver a basic core Zope 2.x Python 2.x release.  My 
 understanding is that its not that big of an issue.  I'm sure it 
 would just make the marketing team giddy.


It's probably a little more an issue than you think. Zope is a 

 I would like to get a clarifaction on this.  It seems best to provide support for 
Python 2.x and provide a patch for 1.5.2 if need be.

pretty large codebase and if nothing else, introducing unicode 

Seem to me a 2.3 designation gives you some leeway to provide 2 versions
release perhaps 2 versions of Zope 2.3. One that incorporates work
already done by members in the community.
See links below for Python 2.x support and Zope 2.2.4.

http://www.zope.org/Members/stevea/unicode_for_224.patch.gz
http://www.zope.org/Members/htrd/wstring

Don't be like a certain company that stopped dos at 6.0.
Or did they?  The point is probably at some point in the future
Zope will become the Windows of Python.  Leaving us with
 Windows3000, Linux3000, and Python3000(W/Zope interface:-)
Go Guido, Go Guido, it's your birthday!  Long live the command line interface!

can affect a great many things. Its the sort of thing that needs 
to be done with a lot of thinking up front. Some work is being 
done on that, (esp. by Toby Dickenson) but 2.3 won't be the 
release where Python 2.0 is officially supported / required.

[Zope-dev] Linux Zope - Win2K SQL Server?

2000-12-07 Thread jimbo

I'm still trying to figure out what the missing pieces are... if anyone else
has gotten a Linux Zope talking to a Win2K SQL Server 2000, I would
appreciate some guidance.
It seems I would have to write my own Product from scratch to do this, no
matter what. None of the ODBC Products seem to be available for Unix, and
ODBC from Unix - Windows will require additional software like EasySoft's
ODBC Bridge anyway. Or I could just not use ODBC at all and make some
Product customized to MS SQL Server.

A while back I had to do a job where I needed ODBC from Windows - Linux. I tried a 
product called iODBC and some other open-source ODBC data manager. Never could get the 
data manager configured.
I would suggest sticking with ODBC.  Here is a earlier post on the subject that might 
help.
http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists/dev-archive.nsf/ByKey/11309A0077896561 

Some may suggest using ActiveState's Perl Methods for Zope and DBD::Proxy.
:)  It's a possibility, but I'd like to see if more conventional solutionsexist.
Sounds painful :-0

Greetings,

Read this carefully, you may end up with a free, signed copy of the Zope
book.

That's right, Amos and I have just gotten done adding all kinds of new
stuff to the book, and in particular we made quite a few changed from
"Python Method" to "Python Script".  This was a task more subtle than a
simple search and replace, many changes needed to be done.

Also, sometime really soon, we will be making a 2.3 alpha release.  This
will be the first release of Zope that will be "in sync" with the
book.  Lots of milestones to reach there.

So, instead of reading the book over again for the N to the Nth time
in preparation, we have decided to run a fun little contest. 

The *first* person to point out an incorrect usage of the term
"method" when it should be "script" will get a free copy of the Zope
book signed by Amos and myself.  If you are the second person to point
out the same error, sorry, you're out of luck, but *keep reading*
because you may find another!  For each unique "method" error found in the
book, someone will get a free signed copy!

And don't just stick to Chapter 8 (although that's probably the best
place to start!) because Python Meth...er Scripts are used all over
the book.

To keep everything fair, you must report your findings to the community
reviewer list at [EMAIL PROTECTED]  They will be the "judges", and
will decide who does and who does and does not get a book.  

Here are some sample right and wrong sentences to give you an idea, just
because a sentence contains the word "method", doesn't make it wrong:

  "DTML Methods are smelly."  (Right)

  "By using DTML, Python, Perl or other kinds of methods, you can
  script the web." (Wrong)

  "Python Methods rock!"  (Wrong)

  "You can call *fooBar* through the web like any other kind of
  method". (Wrong, should be "object", tricky! The judgest make the call
  on these kinds of errors)

  "The Python code in your External Method must be in the Foo module."
  (Right, External Methods still exist)

Get the idea?  

The O'Reilly community reviewers (the "judges") and employees of
Digital Creations are not elligible in this contest, sorry guys, you
already get free books. ;)

So without further a-do here's the URL.  Have fun!

Thanks for the tips.  Here's how I mapped a local folder in order to
use the preview feature.  I'm not talking about right click preview.
Look under edit/preference/preview
Server mappings Server Address
c:\work http://www.myhost.com:8080

"c:\work" holds my dtml files like index_html and such.  
This little proggie for windows rocks!

Re: [Zope] Problems with new Todo example.

2000-11-23 Thread jimbo


No problem here.  I thought I would mention it anyway.  The other parts of the app 
including links work.  I'm not sure why one link works and not the other, I'm guessing 
it's a problem between IE4 and win98.  I'm also not running the latest patches for IE.

Thanks for the good stuff.

-Jimbo

Hmmm... er.. it's just page with a picture and some text there's
nothing zopey at all... I (almost) never run IE or Windowsso
I'll dig around here and see if I can reproduce it it's wierd
though.. it's just simple html! 

Does the app part work for you?

[Zope] zope 2.24b1 upgrade on win98 crashing. errno 9?

2000-11-21 Thread jimbo

I'm not sure what I've done to my system. The upgrade went fine at first so I think it 
might be something I've done since this morning.  I just deleted some product folders 
I had been working on.
Searching thru records seems mysql adapter might be the problem.
  I deleted the mysql folders and still can't start my Zope.
At this point I should start work on mastering Zope debugging.
What would be the easiest and quickest way to get my zope restarted without much 
damage?
Here is the error message.

IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor

[Zope-dev] ZPatterns Product distribution not showing up as a product?

2000-11-14 Thread jimbo

Hi,
   If I try to distribute it and leave it set for "Allow redistribution".
Its not showing up in the Zope products directory tree after I untar the 3 files into 
the file system products directory and restarting Zope.

I have a Dataskin based ZClass, 2 Specialist, the default constructor forms. I'm using 
Zope 2.2.2 on win98 ZPatterns 4.3b2.  Is this expected behaviour for a ttw product? It 
works if I export/import it.

I've managed to change the simple ttw example into a product.  Are you suppose to be 
able to distribute ttw type programs like that?  When I create the tar file its empty.

[Zope] Calling obj. in index_html

2000-11-13 Thread jimbo

I had to catch myself. expr="Bad Jimbo"
I guess calling it versus inserting it achieves the same results.
Just to clarify this would render a string "_['ftp']" right?
