What part do you see ZDP playing in this? This is a tough one to answer, one better left for Amos. At a high level, I want to make sure the ZDP has its own identity, and also that we are taking steps to make a serious difference in the documentation issue. How we can best coordinate with the ZDP is an ongoing discussion. --Paul ___ 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 )

Every hour of development time integrating Perl is one less hour As I tried to mention in my "Redux" post a few moments ago, this isn't the case. ActiveState is doing the engineering. Just a quick comment here. Paul, if DC is compensating ActiveState in this contract it is still using DC resources. Those $dollars going to ActiveState change what DC could do if it added staff or whatever. Whether or not it is a worthwhile goal is another topic. :) working on other parts. I can say without any reservation that the lack of documentation has done ten times as much as lack of Perl support to make my time with Zope difficult. You're absolutely right on this.

[Zope] Perl Zope
Hope nobody minds a newbie perspective on this. I spent the last 4 years programming (and unabashedly loving) Perl, and I don't think adding Perl to Zope will attract a lot more people. The large scope of Zope and the similarities between Python and Perl mean that I've spent a whole lot more time struggling with the Zope pieces than with Python. What makes me most uncomfortable about this is the opportunity cost. Every hour of development time integrating Perl is one less hour working on other parts. I can say without any reservation that the lack of documentation has done ten times as much as lack of Perl support to make my time with Zope difficult.
