Of course it is rude and counterproductive. It seems to be a feature on this list being rude and immature. Not from everyone of course, just from the minority. If certain 'personality types' get irritated when reading and replying to a community support list, they shouldn't be here. You've just got to ignore it and put it down to a 'lack of class' as another list member put it.

Z2 will keep on being maintained until it is replaced by Z3. The goal of

Z2 is still being maintained, and will be for a long time. But the

Read the changelog of the latest Z2 releases. They are practially only
about bugfixes and Z3 integration. Core Zope 2 development has
practically grinded to a halt. New developments are taking place in Zope 
3.



How is that not an outphasing?


I would actually bet on Jim's "door #3" (Zope2 reabsorbing Zope3) as a
more likely outcome.  Five years later, the number of production
installations of Zope3 compared to Zope2 is statistically insignificant;
the use of Zope3 technology within Zope2, however, is growing by leaps
and bounds.

Nothing is phased out for Zope 3. That is incorrect, and that's what

Yes so please stop arguing as if we are arguing anything but opinions.


read the corresponding posting on Zope 2+3 by Jim Fulton 
published after the last PyCon. There is no word of phasing out Zope 2.


I believe it will happen a lot faster than you think. New versions of 
Plone will use it exensively, so there will be a lot of new developers 
from that comunity. Which is pretty big. That will drive the shift forward.


I know plenty of Plone developers, and I don't recall that any of them 
yearn to stay in Z2 after having tried Z3. Quite the opposite.



Btw. I don't see any reason to use words like 'drivel' and 'bullshit'.

It is rude and counterproductive. And I don't recall that I have been 
rude on this list in general or to you specifically.


I am not trolling I just gave a new developer what I believe is good advice.

Zope 3 is a big spare-part and component factory and it is easy to 
integrate stuff into Zope 2. That is currently happening. But *stop* your 
drivel about Zope being phased out. Zope might fade away at some time in 
the far future because there is something better but there is *no active*

You don't have to throw out Zope 2 to start using Zope 3. Just ignore Zope 
2 and get on with it.



If you need features that are in Zope 2 but not in Zope 3, you are 
better of using a framework like Plone.


Hell no. Trying to throw a complete newbie not just into developing with 
Zope, but developing with Plone on top of Zope is, IMHO, insane. Not only 
do you need to learn Zope, you also need to learn the various Plone 
programming paradigms.


That is why I recommended Zope 3 as the first choice. Zope 3 is clearly 
ready for production. In many areas it is allready far better than Zope 2.


I don't understand why it is better for a newbie to learn Zope 2 than Zope 
3? Zope 2 has so many warts, and is a dead end.



That's just bad advice, unless someone truly wants those portal-like 
functionalities in Plone.


And if they don't, they should use Zope 3.


I did not say that Zope 2 was useless. I still spend most of my time 
working on Plone based projects.


This is a case of professional "blinders". You've been working with a 
specific combination for years so these things come easy to you. The 
problem is you don't seem to see that there is healthy life outside of 
Plone. Or outside of Zope 3, for that matter.

This is not something I make up. It is the stated goal for all the Zope

Zope 3, but it really is the same goal!


This will take years. But it is happening. Eg. any new development in 
Plone will be in Zope 3. At least afaik.

A complete newbie is a person that will ask you how to use a spoon for 
eating its soup. None of the frameworks is suitable for a complete newbie.
A complete newbie needs to learn the basics of programming (html, python

If your are using Zope 2 and is a newbie, do yourself the favour of

There are no advantages in using plain Zope 2 anymore.


I'm sorry, that's just complete BS.



No it isn't!

Mind what I said (or tried to say). If you are a *new developer*, with a 
*new project*, you are far better of starting with Zope 3 than with Zope 2.


If you need features that are in Zope 2 but not in Zope 3, you are 
better of using a framework like Plone.


I have done Zope for +6 years, and I would not dream of starting up a 
project from scratch in Zope 2 anymore.


I did not say that Zope 2 was useless. I still spend most of my time 
working on Plone based projects.

Also +1 on the BS. Plone is a solution for lots of use-cases but it is not 
a solution for all-and-everything. Keep in mind that Plone is (easily 
spoken) a skin with with some business logic at implements CMS 
functionality on top of a huge pile of frameworks. Compare it to an iceberg 
(one seventh of the iceberg you'll see over the waterline is Plone and the 
rest are frameworks under the hood). Complex application scenarios often 
don't match with the Plone  use-cases. Therefore it is better to build in 
such cases your own application on top of CMF instead Plone. And once 
again: don't sell Plone as all-in-one device to every customer - that's 
unprofessional. A good consultant/developers knows when to use Plone and 
when not to use Plone.
