Yep.  I had noticed that, and it is helpful.

Thanks.  I'll move it over there.

Thanks for taking the time to look at Zope 3!  We definately
appreciate comments from users and potential users.

This can vary based on the type of object and how it's been
configured.

That's a good idea, and very reasonable.  I will take this opportunity
to note that simply pressing Enter (or Return, depending on your
keyboard!) will submit the form as well.

There is a zope3-dev list available that specifically deals with Zope
3; sending your comments and observations there will reach more of the
active Zope 3 developers.

[Zope-dev] A First Look at Zope3

2003-07-31 Thread Chris Gray
I checked out Zope3 from CVS yesterday and had a go at it for the first
time.  Granted that it is a work in progress, I did have a few comments
from a user's (rather than a developer's) perspective.

The API exposed to DTML and ZPT seems very sparse (compared to Zope2) at
this stage.  Is this the case or am I missing something?  As far as I can
tell there is as yet no way to even get the name of an object for doing
things like the old .  (I have figured out how to
add to the API for any particular class in the source code.)

About the new look to adding objects in a folder -- I see the point of
going to a list of contents with a text input to assign a name (so you can
see what names are already in use), but I see one problems.  The text
input appears at the top of the list and the button to commit the change
is at the bottom of the list.  This will become more inconvenient as a
container's list of contents grows.  Perhaps the buttons should always be
near the text input.
