I appreciate all your comments. It helps me better understand what I
am dong. In fact I do dynamically build my ZClasses on the fly on the
production server. When I build a new job board, a whole bunch of stuff
gets automagically done. I have code writing code. Then the users
create specific instances of ZClasses.
I love the idea that Zope 3 includes schema information. I love the
idea of building Zope 3 schemas through the web. But Legacy code and
data has a powerful gravitational pull. I have a working application,
it is very little work to make the upgrades I need to make. It is a
huge amount of work to migrate it to Zope 3.
If I built a new application, it would be in Zope 3. For the existing
stuff I am happy enough with Zope 2. It is so much better than PHP!
In terms of motivations, I am happy enough with Zope 2.7* I do not
really understand the new upgrades, or what the changes are, or what the
benefits are. With all due respect, I would prefer stability in my
platform rather than evolution.
At some point I will come up with a limitation of Zope 2.7*, I will need
to upgrade, ZClasses will not be working, and I will then do something.
In the meantime my attention is much more focussed on how to manage my
employees better using my application.
Thanks for all the advice. I expect you will hear back from me when
ZClasses are next discussed on this mailing list.
