Re: [Zope] How about removing broken things like Confera andZDiscussions?
Cary, I've written some code that requires ZSQL Methods that I've been heavily considering porting over to a Product sometime in the near future. It has been more of a "is there enough demand for a forum product" than anything really. Take a look at http://www.phunc.com/Forums and tell me if it looks any bit appealing to you. If I see enough demand, I'll productize it, otherwise, tough luck ;] Knight [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Wed, 18 Oct 2000, Cary O'Brien wrote: Why are things like ZDiscussions and Confera even on the zope download pages?

There is a ZDiscussions that works. It is called ZUBB. http://www.zope.org/Members/BwanaZulia/ZUBB But, I agree, old product that have been left behind (the old version of ZDiscussions/Confera) should be marked and or archived.

J Might be better to have a more formal declaration of the dependencies on versions of products relied upon at the download pages -- for some products this has become a tricky and madning process to make sure all the versions are correct for a product to run. This is natural in the progress of Zope and Zope products and will become even more and issue as Zope matures even further. This can be formalized. I do like the way SGI does some of this. Just my cents (sense).

Re: [Zope] How about removing broken things like Confera andZDiscussions?
So... add attachments. Not really a big deal. No one product is going to do it all out of the box. That is why it is Open Source.. you open it and provide your own source of code. :) J From: "Cary O'Brien" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2000 12:41:59 -0400 (EDT) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (J.
