[Zope-dev] ZPL and GPL licensing issues
Hi there, we @ thingamy are considering changing our license to a ZPL-ish one [1] to better serve our clients' needs. However, some of the (Zope) products we've developed may need to rely on GPL'ed code, or needs to be incorporated within it, and the 'obnoxious advertising clause' seemingly puts a stop to it.. The ZPL is listed as a license incompatible with the GPL, but it doesn't really say clearly what the reason is, as far as we can figure, it's because of the advertising clause.

I don't want enter all users and all passwords.
I would like make a dtml-method which select all users and passwords
in my (SQL) table and create automatically these users.
I have created this dtml-method but I don't succed to redirect the page
to acl_users/manage_users (method that create users)
so that I don't need to press add button for each users.
Do you Have a answer or another best solution ?

He studied the license and said that another problem field is that the license is not clear whether modified versions can be distributed in binary form (paragraph 7 of the ZPL). I hope he doesn't mind me quoting the second part of his exact words: ... If the Zope developers are willing to make just one change, I hope they will clarify section 7 to clearly say that modified binaries may be distributed if labeled as unofficial. If they would like to make the license GPL-compatible as well, that would require a few more changes: * Section 4 would have to go. * The license would have to allow distribution of modified sources, not just source patches. * Instead of saying that modified versions have to be labeled as unofficial, it would have to say they must be labeled as modified and by whom. (That is what the GPL requires.) If they don't want to make that much change, well, being incompatible with the GPL is unfortunate but not disastrous. But I hope they will clarify the issue of modified binaries, because that issue could be disastrous. Please invite them to contact me directly to talk about this.

I personally find it to be cumbersome, limiting and not really conducive to actually getting stuff done. The collector currently fulfills the role of a bug list, and to some degree a feature request bin. However, I (and others) find using it for the latter is often a waste of time. Problems could then be organized according to priority due to severity or strategy, or even voting via the comunity (ala Java bug parade developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/) Then under each problem could be listed the proposals that form solutions to the problem. Of course some solutions may solve many problems and therefore appear more than once. I agree that a community-centered bug/feature request collector would be beneficial. One that does not rely exclusively on DC's resources. DC just does not have the bandwidth to deal with everyone's needs. I know there has been talk of opening up the Zope CVS to outside contributions, I personally think this is long overdue. In order for a community development forum to really work, this would have to happen. I just see lots of solutions many of which attack some of the same problems and no clear way to get those people comunicating and making informed trade-offs This is one of the challenges of open-source development. I think we as a community need to leverage our own technology more to facilitate its further development. And I think that means relying on DC less and therefore decentralizing things more. I know that the folks at DC are thinking seriously about these issues. I would say that unless something is actually done soon about opening the Zope core to outside contributors, they run the serious risk of someone just forking the code to do it for them. I also think that Zope.org itself could greatly benefit from direct outside contribution.

You're not allowed to distribute a derived work of GPL code with proprietary code incorporated. I. e. if you want to use that GPL code in your work, you'll have to make the proprietary code available under a GPL-compatible license as well (not necessarily the GPL itself). The Zope license doesn't even get into the play here. It's all between the GPL and your proprietary license. The crucial point is whether a work is a derived work of GPL code. The FSF says that mixing pieces of proprietary and GPL scripts in an application is a derived work indeed. Other people deny this.

seb bacon wrote: * Joachim Werner [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010618 20:28]: That's not the behaviour I'd expect. Can anyone confirm this is a bug? As LEE Kwan Soo has already said, it is not a bug, but a clever (too clever?) feature that should maybe not be enabled by default. Every second week or so somebody runs into this and thinks it is a bug. Thanks for the hint, folks. I'm not a zope newbie, and this still bit me. IMO there's something fairly wrong with the current setup. either the default behaviour should be changed to orphans=0, or the visibility of default values for tags should be improved (from the book: orphan=int The desired minimum batch size - no mention of defaults). Furthermore, the 'feature' doesn't work as I'd expect. In the example I posted, for the sequence (1,2,3,4), I got: batch 1: 1 batch 2: 2 3 4 batch 3: 3 4 batch 4: 4 This isn't in batches of at least 3... If it were iterating in minimum batches of 3, shouldn't that be: batch 1: 1 2 3 batch 2: 2 3 4 batch 3: 2 3 4 batch 4: 2 3 4 Orphan control shouldn't actually set the desired minimum batch size, it should set the size at or below which the last batch should be combined with the next to last batch. If my batch size is five, and orphan is set to three, and I have a set of eight records that I am iterating through, I will get a single eight record batch, because the orphan setting tries to prevent the last batch having three or less results by combining them with the previous five. Orphan settings typically do not override where the batch starts (that would be a 'widow' setting) only where it ends, which is why you are getting increasingly smaller batches. However, the fact that you are getting four batches (rather than just one) is arguably a bug. A batch size of one, combined with an orphan setting of three, should actually give the following result: batch 1: 1 2 3 4 But the algorithm doesn't seem 'smart' enough to roll-up the batches by recursing through them in reverse order. Arguably though, you should never set your batch size smaller than the orphan size, so this isn't really an issue.

Re: [Zope-dev] Add a user to zope
Hi Johan,
It would probably be more efficient for you to look at alternative
user folders that retrieve user data directly from your SQL table.
I'm not sure the current state of the art product is for that, but
UserDb used to be the one, and we have that integrated successfully
in our site.
Check the Products area on zope.org, and I'm sure you'll find something.

Arguably though, you should never set your batch size smaller than the orphan size, so this isn't really an issue. so maybe the dtml batching code should just set the orphans to the batch size if it is greater than the batch size? that would at least eliminate some of the confusion with batching. -d -- | Dyon Balding .

I think they limit accessibility of data because they are really just big globs of text. I personally feel the whole fishbowl concept has some flaws both in technical and administrative implementation. I for one don't exactly know how to proceed beyond a certain point in the fishbowl. Some of my proposals for example end with some thing like this from DC: I think we need to address this a different way, however I don't have time to say exactly how right now. OK, so now what? I know there has been talk of opening up the Zope CVS to outside contributions, I personally think this is long overdue. In order for a community development forum to really work, this would have to happen. This actually is high in our priorities, but the key players have been swamped. From a discussion w/paul recently i think we'll be getting some more attention to doing this, very soon. I understand, but this is the way to get some more resources on your side in the long run. I for one will shed an entire frustration level with Zope when this happens. I think the fishbowl, as it is, is a good significant move towards exposing the process and enabling involvement. Mailling lists help conduct the collaboration. However, more is needed to facilitate that process - selectively enabling checkins, doing notifications to make tracking of developments manageable, fleshing out the context (problems/big picture). It's an incremental process, and we may have lapsed too long in progressing on those increments - perhaps we need to chart out some of these critical pieces, so we can better formulate how they're being attacked - and maybe enable more help with the increments. I agree that the fishbowl is beneficial, if for nothing else than a sounding board for the possible directions of Zope. But, like I mentioned before, I think the community needs more involvement directly with the development of its own tools like the fishbowl. I realize there is a risk to DC of loosing some level of direct control, but I suggest that a democratic development approach although less decisive and centralized is superior to a despotism. I hope to have expore this some, internally, and have more to say about it next week.

Re: [Zope-dev] Using db_connections from Zope products
You want to recreate all of the machinery of ZSQL methods yourself? No, I want to be able to intelligently use pieces that are already there. Well, actually it can be done if your database supports some reasonable API, like the python DB-SIG DB-API 2.0. I know it can be done, which is why I was asking for input But you are creating a fair amount of work for yourself. I'm fine with the work, but I believe there must be a way to do it that doesn't require tons. I could do it from scratch using pg module, etc.. but figured there must be something I could use already there Just use a ZSQL method and be happy. (It will probably I don't want to use ZSQL methods, or I want to be able to define them Dynamically. I see this sight as a product with componenets. Why would I want to maintain 20 ZSQL methods when I could merely pass a couple of arguments such as DB name, which would be instantiated by a manage_addProduct form. I guess I could just trick it and pass everything (the whole select) into the one method as a var, but if I can do that I should be able to do it directly. make your site more secure if you use ZSQL, as well, as you will not have to worry as much about argument quoting). As far as argument quoting, why would there be any? I'm using a class member to take care of querying for me, why would I be passing arguments to it? Any arguments would have been dynamically created based on the class instantiation. There are database hooks for user administration, etc... all I was asking is for a good example of how to do it... I was trying to adhere to the principles used in designing ZClasses, make it look simple... tons of dtml and external python methods mixed in with 15-20 ZSQL methods just didn't seem to be simple when it could be made into a product... __ Do You Yahoo!?

The discussion is still ongoing, and it certainly gives you some insight in the topic: http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/Debian-Linux/208/25/5997636/ Just a few points: It looks that from the viewpoint of the FSF, when you're using the header files of a GPL library, you already have to accept the license.

[Zope-dev] Access to extra modules in Python Scripts
I wanted to make the re module accessible to Python Scripts on my site.
The instructions in the README.txt in the product directory specify that
you should place:
from Products.PythonScripts.Utility import allow_module
allow_module('re')
in a product __init__.py. This appears to work fine for basic re
functions, however I wish to use the returned re.MatchObject objects,
and these raise an Unauthorized exception when methods are called.
Reverting to the old __allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__ on re,
re.MatchObjects and re.RegexObjects appears to work however.
How is one supposed to expose that functionality to Python Scripts using
the new security features? In the Utility.py is an allow_class method
as well, but I couldn't work out if that was what I needed.

things you're talking about?
big picture is good but its not what I mean.
What I mean is a list like this
--
ZODB is not fault tolerent
- ZODBReplication
No way to use Zope with source control
- DirectoryStorage - ZODB
- CVSStorage
- ZODBFileSystemSynchronization
Need clearer seperation between presentation and code
- HiperDOM
etc etc
-
What I'm suggesting is turning the focus on its head. If every day your
looking at problems rather than proposed solutions it promotes the following
- Ideas about alternative solutions
- Focused debate about tradeoffs between alternatives
- a clear way to determine priority of proposed solutions by determining
priority of the problems they solve. People can vote on the problems to
gauge the need in the community. This is something that you guys need. eg No
one at work will take zope seriously if they can't use source control to
intergrate into our existing processes. If I'm alone then thats cool, but if
lots of people are in the same boat but arn't about mailing the dev list to
tell everyone then you'll never know and lose all those potential zopisters.
Voting could be done by giving each problem a page with a special tag.
Every user gets 5 votes to place on any page with the tag. When ever the
problem changes status then everyone who voted gets notified. When the
problem is solved all those votes get refunded. If someones priorities
change then they just move their votes around. (The java bug parage was an
inspired idea IMHO)
The fishbowl is also pull technology, and so it is
time-consuming to
keep up with the developments. I personally find it to be
cumbersome,
limiting and not really conducive to actually getting stuff done.
I've really wanted to enable people to subscribe to notification about
changes to wiki pages, and to notifications about additions
to the wiki.
Unfortunately, i didn't have time to get to that in the WikiForNow
project. As soon as i'm clear form a current project i *may*
be able to
concentrate on at least formulating a reasonable
quick-and-dirty way to do
notifications, and getting it done for the short term. Whether or not
it's me doing it, i think we're going to be bringing more attention to
these issues.
I wrote a quick and dirty one for this. I'll include the code at the bottom
of the email.
However someone recently suggested something better. The idea that you can
send email to a wiki page. To take this futher imagine if every wikipage is
a mailing list. Everyone who adds to it becomes a subscriber or you can
subscribe manually to become a lurker. Then every update gets mailed to
everyone. Then every reply becomes a comment at the end of the page. Perhaps
every wikipage created from the original page inherits its subscribers. Of
course you can unsubscribe at any time (have to be real easy to do like one
click at bottom of email). Email addresses would be something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or something.
So what problem does this solve?
- Lack of awareness of wiki changes
- Email discussion is easier than wiki discussion but essentially the same
thing however they get recorded in different places with no connection
between each other
- No more good idea, but record it on the wiki comments
Anyway the code I wrote (just for stright subscription) went like this. It
relies on an XML document to keep the subscribers but that can be replaced
by some kind of map. It also relies of ZCron to do the checks every 5min or
so. If you guys added a flexible change notification hook (Listener talker
pattern) it would make like much easier. eg The idea of subcribing to events
on any object like change and add events.
add_subscriber(self, user, page_name)
doc = self.subscribers
body = doc.getElementsByTagName('subscriptions')[0]
n = doc.createElement('Notify')
body.appendChild(n)
p = doc.createElement('Page')
p.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(page_name))
n.appendChild(p)
u = doc.createElement('User')
u.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(user))
n.appendChild(u)
remove_sbscriber(self, user, page_name)

[Zope-dev] Zope BackTalk Working Session Invite
(details also available via http://www.mindview.net/Seminars/BackTalkWorkingSession/) INTRODUCTION If you're a seasoned Zope, Python, or collaborative technology developer, you're invited to Crested Butte, Colorado between July 7 (Sat) - 10th (Tues) to help in a working session which has as a goal developing a 1.0 version of a BackTalk implementation for Zope. The working session is primarily a time for quickly iterating against an existing implementation, adding features and hardening as we go. If you come, you'll have an opportunity to meet other Zope and Python developers and have some fun hacking around on a neat project. This is *not* a seminar or teaching exercise, and thus is unstructured. We'll likely use some of the concepts from Extreme Programming (pairing, short iterations, etc), to keep us busy during the working session. Ideally, participants will have built Zope Products in the past. COST Free WHO WILL BE ATTENDING - Bruce Eckel (President, MindView, and author of Thinking In (Java|C++) and other books) - Chris McDonough (developer, Digital Creations) - You! WHAT IS BACKTALK BackTalk is an annotation and collaboration system devised by Bruce Eckel and Bill Venners. It is described at http://www.mindview.net/Books/BackTalk and http://www.mindview.net/Private/BackTalk . It is first and foremost a system which allows for inline commenting on prestructured content. It is close in sprit to systems such as Crit (http://www.crit.org) and Andamooka (http://www.andamooka.org). ** note: although the MindView documentation talks about BackTalk as nonfree software, it is describing the Java implementation. The Zope software produced as a result of the working session will be free ** BackTalk has two major design goals: - dramatically lower the bar for readers to provide inline comments on booklike content. - provide mechanisms for original document authors to fold contributions in the way of comments into the mainline document. IMPLEMENTATION GOALS Produce a Zope implementation of BackTalk which makes use of Zope-only features such as Structured Text (http://cmf.zope.org/doc/user/UsingStructuredText.txt/view), and the Zope object database [ZODB] (http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Articles/ZODB1). A prototype Zope implementation is (hopefully) accessible at http://serenade.4-am.com/BackTalkSandbox/ . If you have difficulty accessing the prototype, please let me know via email (it's a development box). IMPLEMENTATION HIT LIST (we might need you if you know anything about...) - BackTalk back/forward navigation system (DTML/Python) - BackTalk document end-of-document index generation (Python) - Table of contents generation (DTML/Python) - RTF-to-StructuredText converter (Python/C/whatever) - BackTalk-to-RTF converter (Python) - BackTalk-to-PDF converter (Python) - Javascript form elements (JavaScript) WHEN DOES THE SESSION START/END From: Saturday, July 7, 2001 To: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 session days begin at 9, end at 5.

user folders that retrieve user data directly from your SQL table.
I'm not sure the current state of the art product is for that, but
UserDb used to be the one, and we have that integrated successfully
in our site.
Check the Products area on zope.org, and I'm sure you'll find
something.

Hello,
I need your help. I'm trying to add all users from of our
company in zope.
I don't want enter all users and all passwords.
I would like make a dtml-method which select all users and passwords
in my (SQL) table and create automatically these users.
I have created this dtml-method but I don't succed to
redirect the page
to acl_users/manage_users (method that create users)
so that I don't need to press add button for each users.
Do you Have a answer or another best solution ?
Thanks ...
Johan.
