Hi there,
We have a concept of Site in the Zope Toolkit, along with SiteManager
and the like. What this concept allows us to do is locally register
components. Most typically this is used for local utilities such as a
catalog.
During traversal, a thread-local is set with the current site, so

I don't think I'd make this jump. I'd not be averse to a longer
package name if it made it more explicit.

The second plan is my favorite if it is possible
dependency-wise and zope.component doesn't take on new
dependencies. I think support for local components could very
well be part of zope.component conceptually.
It would

One reason Locus might be a bad word is because it's easily confused
with Location, a concept we already have.
What I like to see is that
zope.locusts?
I don't think locus is an improvement to site. Although site is not
strictly correct, it's often the fact that it is a site. Locus doesn't
say anything, and adds another abstraction with no obvious benefit.
A longer name is better in that case. Like componentlocation or
One reason Locus might be a bad word is because it's easily confused

an other one is that in german locus is often used for a place where you sit

Hi Martjin
Betreff: Re: [Zope-dev] RFC: Site - Locus
I think if we really need a better naming, we should
think about how everyting will fit together.
e.g.
application, root, site, registry, local, global
component, location, container, item, etc.
I don't think locus is the right missing
A few high-level comments.

What is the technical advantage of renaming Site to Locus? To me it looks
just like a (not so necessary) cosmetic change.
Obviously there is no technical

Probably a rare use case or could become imporant if we use other

ideas of using a contianer less traversal pattern?

I immediately had the same connotation as all the other German speakers. And I
am studying genetics right now as well, so I knew about locus.
Furthermore, I really do not see an advantage of renaming
