Lest there be any confusion, I'll point out that while Stephan has been working as a paid developer on SchoolTool, and I'm happy that he lobbies for issues that he perceives to be in the project's interest, like this one, he isn't doing so as a formal representative of SchoolTool as such. Stephan and I, let alone Mark, haven't discussed this proposal (yet), and I don't yet know what SchoolTool's position will be.

For example, the CERTIFICATION.xml file should always live in the common repository or a even more secured place to ensure validity of the process. I think we will quickly figure out ways to do that, once we have done it once. I think a lot of code can be reused. I have started a package that aims at providing an implementation of the process independently from the svn.zope.org layout.

OK, so it is now clear from Stephans comments that thsi really is two separate proposals, just mixed into one file because of Stephans workload. I think we should properly split them up, because this clearly made a lot of people confused, and I wonder if anybody that read this proposal realized that this was two independent things. I sure didn't. So, the idea is to have a website for listing Zope3 products with it's certification. And another idea is to have a common repository, with rules for that. One question is then what requirements to have on repositories that join into the certification process. Same as on the ZF repository? None at all? Something in the middle? ___ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
