Of course, so we should avoid this by trying to contact the original developer(s). I guess I wasn't clear about 'not strictly necessary'; I'd consider it less necessary if there has been no development for years, but of even then sending off an email makes sense.

I think a Plone site should be able to run something like this, as plone.org does, right? Anyway, I don't think the technology is the most work here. We need someone to go through and create the content. Even a simple web-page listing interesting products and where to find them would already be tremendous progress.

The svn.zope.org repository doesn't sound like a good place then for this project. If anyone wants to pick this project up, we should arrange something else. I'm sure that's quite doable, however.

Thanks, I had forgotten about that. Anyway, it could be any SVN repository - and this project will only happen if one or two volunteers do the work of collecting interesting Zope 2 products, contacting the authors (not strictly necessary but always a good thing to do) and checking them in, possibly cleaning things up here and there. I know for one Formulator could be a candidate. I haven't been doing much with it for quite a while now. Needs to be squared with Infrae, which is doing some low-level maintenance on it, and it's safe in the Infrae SVN, but should there be a good new home and enough volunteers to help maintain it, it's quite possible Infrae would be interested in having it most. I'm not speaking for Infrae here, just as the original author of Formulator.

This is indeed the "sweet spot" for the Zope2 TTW development model, and I still use it myself, but with two caveats: - I *never* push a site to production using the TTW technologies unless I am personally committeed to maintaining it in perpetuity, because TTW code is near-impossible to collaborate on. - I *never* do more than prototype with TTW code if I plan to distribute the code across more sites than the one I built it on, because the mechanisms for moving TTW code are hideously hard to get right. the "use Products over TTW" meme on the Zope lists is a direct result of these two fact. Being able to use filesystem tools (CVS / SVN, etc.) on the code is all part of the same meme. That meme is also why I wrote tools (FSDumper, CMFSetup/GenericSetup) to make it easier to start with a TTW prototype and later move the code (and configuration) to the filesystem.
