When i speak about zope with my friends or tell about zope to my boss i allways use "Zope Framework" name. Zope Framework was from beginning the "natural" name for zope3 for me.
When i thing about Zope3, i think about Zope Framework When i thing about Zope2, i think about Zope2 Just my 0.02 cents :) Regards Roman Lacko > -----Original Message----- > From: zope-dev-boun...@zope.org [mailto:zope-dev-boun...@zope.org] On Behalf > Of Lennart Regebro > Sent: Thursday, April 09, 2009 11:18 AM > To: Martin Aspeli > Cc: zope-dev@zope.org > Subject: Re: [Zope-dev] naming Zope > > Zope Toolkit is a good name.
