Proposal: Move ISite to zope.location was: [Zope3-dev] ISite misplaced in zope.app.component.interfaces
Hi, after thinking the problem over at gocept we came to the following suggestion: - A site is a place which gives acces to a component registry. - ISite isn't a good name for the concept behind it, because it is connected too tight to a website and on having hierarchical structures (at least in the code). - In long term a more abstract concept for ISite could be added. - In short term, for cleaning up dependencies, I propose to move ISite to zope.location, because it is the only package outside of of zope.app.* which uses ISite and defindes a method to get the nearest site. We think this is the right place because ISite is about component registries in the context of location. - zope.app.component.interfaces then can import ISite from the new place to avoid deprectation. -- Yours sincerely, Michael Howitz gocept gmbh co. kg · forsterstrasse 29 · 06112 halle/saale www.gocept.com · fon: +49 345 12298898 · fax: +49 345 12298891 ___ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

I think this is a matter of documentation and explanation. Anyone working longer than a week with Zope 3 knows what our extended concept for a site is. Terms always overlap accross problem domains, this is nothing new. We need to stop thinking that our branch of engineering/science is special and that we have to reinvent everything. - In short term, for cleaning up dependencies, I propose to move ISite to zope.location, because it is the only package outside of of zope.app.* which uses ISite and defindes a method to get the nearest site. We think this is the right place because ISite is about component registries in the context of location. After reading the first sentence, I was against it. After reading your explanation this sounds like a good idea, so +1 from me.
