A few high-level comments. 1. I admire your desire to make this clearer. :) 2. I think local configuration address use cases that most people don't have but introduce complexity that I bet a lot of developers trip over. 3. I think the right word here is "local registry". I think the whole

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 ri

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 registration
