Right. Note that I'm against making too many zmi.* packages right now, keep it all in a few packages now. Concerning dependencies, let's first talk about zope.container: zmi should depend on zope.container zope.app.container.browser should have backwards compatibility imports from zmi, and zope.app.container should depend on zmi Now let's talk about a package that *hasn't* been factored away from zope.app.* yet, such as zope.app.file: in this case, zmi would depend on zope.app.file but zope.app.file.browser would depend on zmi. That's a circular dependency, which we should break as soon as possible by moving zope.app.file's content objects to zope.file or something like that. > I think it should be like: > > 1. zope.app.foo moves ZMI code to zmi.foo > > 2. zope.app.foo imports the zmi code from it's zmi.foo package Agreed. > This allows us to move the zmi code from the zope.app packages > to zmi packages.

Agreed; do it after the zmi refactoring. Thanks Roger for the coordination. I think we all agree on where we need to go, which is good.
