No idea what you're talking about. The Z2.log contains a space between the 
client address and the minus sign - at least for Zope 2.8+.

What is 'analog'?

I have Zope 2.8.8 and my Z2.log entries looks like:

127.0.0.1 - Anonymous [04/Oct/2006:23:17:06 +0200] "GET /manage
HTTP/1.1" 401 546 "" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; pl-PL;
rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060921 Ubuntu/dapper-security Firefox/1.5.0.7"

I have no Z2.8.6 instance to compare but maybe you may try installing
newer Zope 2.8.x (there should be no compatibility issues) and see if
it helps.

Take a look at ZopeBook 2.7 at plope.org and
look at Zope wiki at http://wiki.zope.org/FrontPage.
Maybe it is better to start with tutorial from
UpfrontSystems (link is in wiki).
Keep in mind that all of these may be sometimes out of date.

By screen icons you mean icons visible in ZMI like: Folder, Script
Python etc?

Do you have any errors in error log (and in event.log)? What happens
when you try to directly open the image icon?

Do you have any broken products in Control Panel->Product management?
And stupid thing but, have you tried different browser...?

The paper books for zope 2 are all ancient. REALLY ancient.
The latest is here:
http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition
It's also a bit old, but it has a *lot* of updates since the paper
version and even since the previous online edition.

IMO the community badly needs somebody to overhaul the Zope Book and
Zope Developers' Guide. Unfortunately, that's a *very* labor-intensive
job, and pretty much everybody with sufficient knowledge has too much
paying work to do that, myself included.  Kudos to Chris McDonough
and the contributors for getting the 2.7 edition as far as it got.

Meanwhile, zopewiki.org is very very useful.

A large number of working deployments, OTOH, is a very good reason to
not throw away the past :)

A couple of people have mentioned Zope 3 already...
We've been in the process of "starting over" for several years
now.  

There's simultaneously an evolution of Zope 2 to use more and more of
Zope 3.  Unfortunately this means zope 2 is going to get bigger before
it can get smaller. Read the archives of the zope3-dev list for some
ideas on how this might all pan out... Jim's message "Two visions" from
Feb. of this year.

People like to start from scratch, but sooner or later they
end up reinventing all the features they threw away :)
We're trying to find a way not to throw out all the good stuff.

> That's why I'm pushing to making it an Apache module. 

There has been some work done on running zope under Apache.
Google for modzope.

"does most everything"?  "few missing pieces"? How can you compare
an HTTP server to a full-featured web development framework?

FWIW, while I do think you have some misconceptions of where zope is 
going, I do think the tone got a lot harsher than necessary.

I haven't posted on your wiki because I prefer mailing lists.

You didn't install it.  If you want to use the "working directory" in
which you unpacked the tarball your SOFTWARE_HOME, you need to run 'make
inplace', too.  Otherwise, you should run 'make install' (assuming you
passed an appropriate prefix to 'configure') and then re-do the 'make
instance' bit from the installed tree.

Here's what I'm hearing:

I opened my Zope Book back up to see how I could have

[2] Some of you felt that it is acceptable that Zope's

The docs for Python, for example, seem to be complete.
 You might have to surf around a bit to find an
example that does what you want, but you don't have to
dig into the source for Python just to find out what
methods are available to a given class! That's not

This thread is about your wiki, not about the docs. That's a
different story.

Zope 2 is likely the wrong tool for you because it is too huge, too complex
or because it just does not fit your brain. Because of the number of wrong
facts in your wiki you would better use something easier like Django, 
Turbogears, Zope 3. You want something small and light, the Python world

has several alternatives that might fit your needs.



How big is a Zope install, 20M?  I'm not at my home PC
at the moment, so I can't check.  I'm betting that all
the good stuff Zope really needs could fit in 50k.
That leaves a 19.95M barrier to entry.  I feel that
all this overhead is some of what is keeping people
away from Zope.


Zope 2 is a huge framework. Don't compare it to *programming

3.  I've never played with it.  I will try to make
some time for that.  However, my gripes with the
original Zope is that there is too much.  I really
just want the Zope basics.  Adding more to Zope will
not make me happier.

That's why I'm pushing to making it an Apache module. 
Apache is wildly popular and used in a tremendous
number of servers.  It already does most everything,
so why re-invent the wheel?  Let's just add on the few
missing pieces so we can give developers the tools
they need to build the rest of the car.

As for me, personally, I'm going to press on making a
Zope alternative.  I don't mean it as any insult to
anyone who loves Zope.

A buddy of mine drew some parallels to an SQL product
he uses.  Someone created an SQL Lite version of it
for people who don't need all of the SQL's advanced
features.  By doing so, it was not an insult to those
who created the SQL program in the first place.  It
was merely an alternative for projects where the Lite
version was better suited.

So follow if you dare, help if you'd like, but shout
your insults at my back.  I see no reason to stick
around a community that treats me like this when I'm
only trying to help.

oh, yes, but when someone solicits opinions and gets whacked in the head

not them.

Because Jim is not someone to get smacked in the head? :-)

It is a problem because that makes us stand out as bunch of ignorable,
elitist *ssh*les  to the world. That is not a good thing in my book.

YMMV.

You don't need to cover these, just the types you need to import from 
the library itself and any classes or special types that get returned 
from methods in the things you import from the library.


That said, if I were you, I'd just wrap up all the bits you need in an 
external method.


cheers,

Yes he is; by simply not bothering to do any real research before making 
huge sweeping statements...


If he publishes a wiki with some misconceptions, so what? 


If it's full of crap, quite a few people will let him know ;-)


Will it have
more impact than all the other sites that don't grok zope and therefore
dismisses it? No, probably not.


Yeah, but they got their fair share of trouble too...


But us going on like "you obviously don't get it, do you? In fact, you

If that's true, then why not?


either: instead of getting an enlightened zope user, we get yet another
"zope sucks"-person with a bunch of misconceptions about zope out in the
wild.


Some people can't be helped...


spending time thinking about a fork is futile. I somehow can understand
his position, though, having rewritten some of our systems based on what
they should do, instead of trying to understand the original spaghetti
code (but my code is nowhere near the complexity of Zope, on the other
hand).


I don't there's anything out of the ordinary with this pattern, it's 
what happens with all software development...

Sorry, I disagree. Respect is a mutual thing.


Yes, in general, but in our case, I get the feeling that *anyone* that
does not agree with the zope-philosophy, or questions the way zope
works, gets a smack in the head. This is just the latest example.


Nah, I don't agree, sorry. If that had been the case, how did Zope 3 
come into being? ;-)



I am not trying to tell people how to behave, though, even if it may
sound like it - I am just trying to point out some things about our
attitude that we should be aware of as a community.


I'd say, as a community, we don't tolerate fools lightly. I see that as 
a good thing...
