I personally feel quiet offended to see Zope 3 degraded to a set of components. Zope 3 in itself is also an application server; Zope 2, on the other hand, is an application. > > I really don't care about how it is called, but I'm sure we > > need some naming convention and since we have one, I don't see > > any reason to change this. > > As said: there was a big discussion on the terms "Zope 2" and > "Zope 3" during the last DZUG conference. Bringing it to the point: > the terms "zope 2" and "zope 3" should die. There's only 'Zope'. I have not been involved in this discussion. Having discussions like this during a conference is good as a starting point, but should never be seen as a canonical decision. > Although you are a Zope component-only developer > you can not ignore the dependent applications and framework. So you are saying I have to change Zope 3's story to cope with Zope 2's identity crisis? Honestly, degrading Zope 3 to a set of libraries and components is marketing poisoning for people deploying pure Zope 3 applications.
