 where to go in and change stuff. Would that help? Or would that be  
 too much unnecessary boilerplate?

I don't think this is unnecessary boilerplate for many projects, but
it's not universal.

What is the appropriate way to 'specialize' the zopeproject recipe for
different 'default' purposes, one of which would be 'hello world'?

  2. Is this kind of setup (I mean using zopeproject) supposed to be  
  used to deploy applications in production environments?
 
 It certainly can be used for deployment, though you'll probably want  
 to make some changes to the configuration files before you deploy  
 (rip out the administrator account, deactivate developer mode,
 etc.).  
 Again, this is a good question that should be answered in the  
 zopeproject docs. 

If the most common configuration changes can be gathered into a
'deployment' recipe, that would also be useful, I think.

  For me, second approach is more clear but even simple README.txt,
  located at new project's folder, with description of next steps,  
  should be enough.
 
 The problem with boilerplate README files is that they're never  
 changes after the fact, therefore making it look like your code has  
 documentation while in fact it's just the unchanged boilerplate. At  
 least the code *has* to be changed to make something useful out of
 it. 

Hmm. Perhaps both sets of requirements can be satisfied by generating a
REPLACEME (or RENAMEME, or EDITME) file with the boilerplate in it. That
should still help a newbie get things going while making it clear that
it is not (yet) actual documentation for the new code.

 I definitely think we should work out a human procedure *first*.
 
 But some tools to assist the human in doing repetitive, failure-prone 
 work (releasing versions of many eggs) would definitely be appreciated 
 by me.
 
 Perhaps these could be made lint-like initially. I.e. you run them and 
 the tool reports possible problems (no tag created, version number in 
 CHANGES.txt appears wrong, setup.py misses information we want in there, 
 etc). Once that's in place, we could introduce features that actually 
 perform actions.

An advisory tool could also optionally use Cheesecake.

Re: [Zope3-dev] Re: [Zope-dev] I'd lobe to merge the zope3-dev and zope-dev lists

   This would basically involve retiring the zope3-dev list and moving
   zope3 developers to the zope-dev list.

 What about retiring #zope3-dev IRC channel and only using #zope ?

No. #zope is roughly the equivalent of the main zope list. There is no
#zope-dev channel.

Now, someone might suggest that the zope3-users list should be merged
with the main zope list, but that someone wouldn't be me. At least not
as long as there are separate releases being made.
