 Me too!!

Not I.  Particularly not if we want further adoption Zed outside of
the zope community.  And for the record, I could care less what the name
is.  But I do think someone in this thread made a good point -- having a
name without zope will allow for much easier adoption by the rest of
the python community.  And isn't that what we're all here for?

Profile: Zed, plays nice with others

 Would we want people outside the community to do this?

We want as much as the python developer as possible to use pieces of
zope.  This means those pieces of zope will have had greater testing,
more reviewing, and ultimately, more people contributing.

At this point, I think the number of people that already use zope3
components and have never used zope the application server would be
larger than expected.  For those who don't get put off by names right
away, zope3 CA is a nice piece of work.

 I think Geoff's core point could be met by keeping the word Zope for 
 the app server.  I think Geoff's deeper point was to rethink the word 
 used for the CA, which actually doesn't want to be thought of us an app 
 server.

 Strange how (most of) the Plone people seem to be so quick in willing to
 sacrifice the Zope brand :(

Were this truly the case, most Plone people wouldn't bother
contributing to this thread.  But the reality is -- I (from a Plone
people point of view) am very concerned about the future of Zope from
both technology and marketing standpoints.

I do python/zope/plone consulting for a living -- it thrills me when I
can say to a fairly technology-savvy client that I will deploy my
solution on top of Zope and they say, Oh Zope? I've heard thats pretty
good.  And yes, it has happened.

I am *not* against other developers using bits of Zope. So I am sort of 
being the devils advocate here.


But everytime it is mentioned, it is allways mentioned as a purely good 
thing. But it is in fact not without cost.


Eg. conflicting interrests of 'external' and 'internal' users, or code 
that becomes more complex because of different use cases.
