What you are likely to see in Zope3 at least is the ability to synch objects to and from the filesystem. This would allow you to edit content/code (code-tent?) on the filesystem using your choice of tools and then check it back into the ZODB.
Another reason for this is a vision of having all application code (even restricted python) reside in the ZODB so that it can be distrbuted via ZEO. Much work is to be done on this, but I think in the end, we may be able to have our cake and eat it too... -Casey Romain Slootmaekers wrote: > > On Mon, 8 Apr 2002, Charles Y.
