It would be more fun. :-) (and thus more encouraging) Shane ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )

Have you looked at the Zope Directions document recently posted on dev.zope.org? http://dev.zope.org/Resources/ZopeDirections.html Dramatically lowering the bar for developers to create quality components is our number one priority going forward. It will be evolutionary and not happen all at once, but it will be happening. > DC should encourage and then force developers to be a bit better > about documentation.

One idea we've kicked around is to make the eventual "components area" on zope.org such that component users can provide some +1 -1 type feedback that is incorporated into the way that components are listed on the site. This would let the most popular / best components appear at the top of listings etc. Brian Lloyd[EMAIL PROTECTED] Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
