 Andrew  others have been working on this issue at the sprint. There is
 consensus that www.zope.org must be turned into landing page with some
 mission statement and then links to the related subprojects. The current
 zope.org site should be moved to old.zope.org (it must remain
 available for the time being (with URL redirections to the Products
 and Member area).
 Why does it need to keep living even at old.zope.org?
 
 Because members put there content (product implementations) still usable?
 
 

There really should be not problem to integrate current
www.zope.org/Products and www.zope.org/Members including the LDAP
authentication service into an new www.zope.org. No need to break any
links - we already did similar with moving DevHome wikis out to
wiki.zope.org. I'd be happy to adjust the current skins (Plone1.0.3) to
whatever look is needed.

  ^ for you

Indeed, but classic doesn't have any bad connotations as far as I'm 
concerned, and it'll need to keep living as long as Plone relies on it, 
which will be forever...

 Why do you care if it does?

Because someone needs to look after the (rather large, ancient and 
crufty) zope instance in which it lives, and it keeps on tripping up 
innocent passers-by.

I don't think many of these passers by will be put off by the 
old.zope.org url and we'll still end up with people wondering why 
LocalFS doesn't work in Zope Classic 4.0 ;-)

 Plenty of people use it without plone. You might want to crawl out of
 the vacuum you live in.

Yes, and I'm one of them, but I don't think it's fair to try and tempt 
new users into it...

I'm happy to be proven wrong by you writing lots of decent docs, picking 
up maintenance of zope.org and LocalFS ;-)

[Zope] Zope 4.0, maybe not such a bad idea...

2009-04-02 Thread Chris Withers
Remember this:

http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/04/01/parrot.htm

Well, that lead to this:

http://www.parrot.org/

One of the reasons I got suckered into replying was that I thought this 
might be the result of some stuff a few of us had talked about at the 
Zope BOF at PyCon.

I actually think having a 4.0 release of Zope that unifies things could 
be used to make things a lot clearer...

- Zope Framework 4.0

What Martijn has announced and is already being worked on extensively.

- Zope A 4.0

What was to be Zope 2.12

- Zope B 4.0

Whatever the next pending release of the Zope 3 appserver stuff was to 
be. (Need to keep the Canonical and ZC guys happy afterall ;-) )

www.zope.org could then just be a radically cut down link portal to 
a.zope.org, b.zope.org and framework.zope.org, which I'd imagine to be 
brochurewear, download and/or KGS sites for each of the above.

I'd suggesting splitting the svn access stuff out to dev.zope.org 
because it transcends all three.

docs.zope.org could hoover up the rest, with any remaining stuff being 
humanely dispatched.

Seriously, how do people feel about this?
