*sigh* So while everyone is busy talking about "visions" on a dev list, 
important stuff like getting you to be able to commit feels like it's 
getting sidelined :-(



If your read the foundation's policy you will find something like:

   Becoming a contributor is an honour
   ... You need to be invited.
   ... Intially, the foundation assigns initial contributors who
   may invite additional ones.


Well, if no-one else does, _I'll_ damn well invite you :-D

That does not mean that you cannot contribute code -- e.g. as
patches attached to bug reports or feature requests (as I already
do). It simply means that you do not get write access to the
code repository.

This must be a misunderstanding. The new agreement will replace the current 
one as soon as the ZF exists (means Rob Page raises the WE-ARE-READY sign). 
One of the first actions of the ZF should be to invite the current 
contributors to join the ZF under the new agreement to elect an initial 
board or to support the ZF bootstrapping process. Since Dieter won't 
contribute directly under the terms of the current agreement he can not be 
invited to join directly. However as soon as the ZF exists he can join 
directly under the terms of the new agreement...sounds insane but I think 
that would be the right way.

I think that I have filed collector issues...
At least for the badly escaped URLs.


The standard set of properties supported by Zope usually contains
only ASCII. As we use an extended Zope allowing ids to contain non-ASCII,
the second error surfaced. I may not have reported this problem
because it is probably not relevant for the core Zope (until
either to allow ids to contain non-ASCII or you define your own
WebDAV properties).

Zope will refuse to traverse to any object the id of which starts
with "_". For some unknown reason, you try to traverse to such
an object.


The error messages of MS WebDAV are completely horrible:

   you always get the same error message independently of what goes wrong

I had to use different WebDAV clients or even use TCP loggers
to analyse such cases. In all cases, Zope was to blame
(it failed to recode property values with non ascii content
(generating invalid XML) and its URL quoting was wrong) -- but a better error
message from MS WebDAV had significantly facilitated the
problem analysis...

We had to fix some bugs in Zope's WebDAV support, e.g. properties
may not be pure ASCII. Zope did not recode them into UTF-8.
