As both Robert and Joachim (in another message) have noted, core i18n support is blocked by a single issue: there are two different approaches and insufficient consensus about resolving them. The first criteria that I have is whether someone is willing to become a CVS contributor and

Hi, as far as I understand the issue, both I18n solutions coud agree on a common set of features they need in the Zope-core. I think booth should formulate, what their requests are. --On Sonntag, Dezember 02, 2001 13:13:30 -0500 Paul Everitt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As both Robert and

I am hearing to different stories, sometimes from the same people. On the one hand ZC is this munificent benefactor of Zope. On the other hand ZC is this poor cash strapped little company that can't afford to take any interest in Zope unless they have an immediate incentive. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT
