As far as I can see, it's a question of - setting up a server, I would recommend a Plone site with the new Zope theme. - creating a zodb.zope.org DNS record and pointing it at that Zope site. - pasting in the content. - giving zodb people manager access to the plone site. I can not technically do any of that, as I don't have a server to put it on, no access to the Zope.org dns and no content. The rest I can do. :) -- Lennart Regebro: Pythonista, Barista, Notsotrista. http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 ___ Zope-web maillist - Zope-web@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-web

I doubt that I could. I'm not good at making people do things for free. :) I think the way your formulated this is indicative of the problems. It's a case of Somebody is not working here. I.e. This should be done or Somebody needs to do X. Well, there isn't anybody called Somebody here, so as long as Somebody needs to do it, it won't get done. :) This is one of the common obstacles of committee work, and it seems zope-web unfortunately got a dose of it. Maybe we are getting out of the slump thanks to Andreas, but if not I again suggest the Zope Foundation appoints a Web Tsar with full access to everything that gets completely free hands to do whatever he wants (after the foundation has taken a backup of everything) and see what happens. :) I'm also lazy, which are the reasons I haven't volunteered for the role of Web Tsar already, as being bad at getting people to work for free would mean I have to do everything myself, and I'm too lazy for that. :) -- Lennart Regebro: Pythonista, Barista, Notsotrista. http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 ___ Zope-web maillist - Zope-web@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-web

I hope things are different now. The work that happened with the Zope book is encouraging, for example. However, most people who care enough about Zope to want the website to be better are too busy or too much into coding. Unlike, say, Rails, there isn't a large community of fanboys who want to contribute and have time on their hands and the right soft skills. This is absolutely true. I'll put up Zope.org as a possible discussion item for the OpenSpace, maybe somebody has some bright idea. -- Lennart Regebro: Pythonista, Barista, Notsotrista. http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 ___ Zope-web maillist - Zope-web@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-web
