(Paul, here, have some earplugs ;-) CW Notification, which bugzilla offers, MAKES ALL THE CW DIFFERENCE!! Email notification is good enough, if I want CW that to beep my cellphone, I just send it to me genie.co.uk CW email address... I should mention that Simon Michael's MailWiki tool is incredible for things like this. It mails changes in the Wiki (almost, but not resembling, a unified diff, with the PageChange'd title in the subject). It also allows for mail-in appending, which of course is potentially dangerous, but so is any WWW-based storage of mail. Intelligent use of mail filtering (which has led to my symbiotic relationship with emacs and gnus for nearly 6 years now) will reduce the burden. It's not perfect, but it's not bad. I REALLY, but REALLY like using this feature. And I've been using on a wiki that I use for brain dumps from email... It would need a bit more work (semi-validation of from, etc), but it is potentially useful in this context. I hate firing up a browser to go searching, but I'll do it if something catches my eye... CW Well, okay, don't use bugzilla. But dump wiki, it's not CW sutructured enough. You want bite sized bits of information, See above. But maybe it still wouldn't be structured enough. best, -tony -- A.J. RossiniRsrch. Asst.

Re: [Zope-dev] ZPL and GPL

I think I'm accurately channeling Guido when I say that Python will never be GPL'd. AFAIK, there is no GPL code even in the standard Python distribution. Both of those states of affair are by conscious decision: regardless of what you think of the GPL (and I personally happen to believe it can be a good license for /some/ software, but not all) GPL'ing Python would be a very bad thing. Guido has always intended for people to do whatever they want with Python, including using it in everything from closed source, proprietary, big-$$$ software to completely free software. MRB I guess I don't understand how licensing Python under the GPL MRB would prevent people from writing proprietary software in MRB Python. Here's a case in agreement with the above: There's a statistical language, R, whose implementation is GPL'd. Recently, a research organization in Australia (who shall remain nameless) starting selling a binary package for it to do microarray analysis. So, value-added software, and the question was whether it violated the GPL. Current thinking (as well as that of the R-core team) was to state that if they wanted to profit, fine, as long as they didn't build using GPLd header files (and the core team promptly LGPL'd the headers). best, -tony -- A.J.
