Agreed with this. We want Zope 3 packages to move forward, so I'm very glad that David took up this discussion. It's important we develop a bit of vision here, some guidelines, and a plan on how to get there step by step. Note that Grok hasn't been forking Zope 3 packages. We've built a few packages on top of Zope 3 that are now reusable with straight Zope 3 too, to wit, grokcore.component, grokcore.view and grokcore.security and soon grokcore.formlib. Grok has its own approaches of course, but one thing we spent quite a bit of time on is to be good Zope 3 citizens. Grok 0.14 will be built on top of these grokcore.*, and we took pains to make these compatible with straight Zope 3 projects as well. This means that if you want Grok-style configuration of adapters, views and utilities in your Zope 3 project or library you can use these projects. I have a few z3c packages sitting around that I hope to convert to use these once Grok 0.14 is released. These packages are already finding some uptake in Zope 2 projects as well. It's been interesting to see how the requirements to reuse bits of Grok in Zope 3 and Zope 2 have been pulling togeter to help factor these packages out. I think the only bit that you can really consider a 'fork' is grokproject itself, which is like an improved zopeproject. If someone wants to take it up, we could start factoring out a common core there as well.
