I am *not* against other developers using bits of Zope. So I am sort of being the devils advocate here. But everytime it is mentioned, it is allways mentioned as a purely good thing. But it is in fact not without cost. Eg. conflicting interrests of 'external' and 'internal' users, or code that becomes more complex because of different use cases. -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

But the reality is -- I (from a "Plone people" point of view) am very concerned about the future of Zope from both technology and marketing standpoints. I do python/zope/plone consulting for a living -- it thrills me when I can say to a fairly technology-savvy client that I will deploy my solution on top of Zope and they say, "Oh Zope? I've heard thats pretty good." And yes, it has happened. - Rocky -- Rocky Burt AdaptiveWave - Consulting, Training, and Content Management as a Service http://www.adaptivewave.com Content Management Made Simple ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

We want as much as the python developer as possible to use pieces of zope. This means those pieces of zope will have had greater testing, more reviewing, and ultimately, more people contributing. At this point, I think the number of people that already use zope3 components and have never used zope the application server would be larger than expected. For those who don't get put off by names right away, zope3 CA is a nice piece of work. - Rocky -- Rocky Burt AdaptiveWave - Consulting, Training, and Content Management as a Service http://www.adaptivewave.com Content Management Made Simple ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

Not I. Particularly not if we want further adoption "Zed" outside of the zope community. And for the record, I could care less what the name is. But I do think someone in this thread made a good point -- having a name without "zope" will allow for much easier adoption by the rest of the python community. And isn't that what we're all here for?
