One query about your plans for PTK. In my opinion it would be good to
incorporate into it, at some level, capability like Microsoft's
Digital Dashboard -- you know like mynetscape.com edit
capabilities. (Actually the use of dynamic html in Excite's version of
the same thing is nicer.) I would th

That should give you a good idea... My guess is that there are
probably 1-2,000 active developers with more like 500 very active
(building products, submitting bugs, betas and code). You should,
however, be careful with these numbers b/c som
I agree. DC and Zope are connected but if DC were to fold tomorrow
(and trust me they are no where near folding) Zope would live on.
There are thousands of active developers out there that would take it

I am going through a justification (risks) of the use of Zope for a
corporate client. Framing things as an Open Source play relies on the
health of its community for its longevity and access to expertise for
support. I remember some number tossed out when the Members folder at
