My apologies for jumping in to the discussion a few days late, but I saw my name ;) I have mixed feelings on some of the reserved names in Zope. On the one hand, I certainly understand that people want to be able to customize *everything* and that means being able to delete things etc from the root folder. On the other hand, we want to have a known 'stable base' which is pretty much guaranteed to exist for product writers, to facilitate interoperability. What we don't have is a good way of saying "I *know* I can shoot myself, but I swear if I do I wont bleed on your carpet." So far, my preferences are for the latter; that is, I would prefer a well-defined area that has known contents. Like them or not, that includes the standard_* pages as well as various other objects. In the Zope 2 context, being able to know things exist by name without having to go through gyrations to confirm them is highly useful. To my mind, this utility outweighs the "clutter" aspect. Said differently, the small benefit of the common names multiplied by the broad general user base has a higher value of the large benefit (to the beholder) of the aesthetic root folder multiplied by a small user base. And, as Andy has pointed out, you can easily go tweak the reserved names out of the source. -- Matt Kromer Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com/ _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
