Dear all, thanks to everyone who commented my two proposals on simplifying ZCML. Here are some updates:
Reducing the amount of ZCML directives -------------------------------------- I've updated this proposal slightly. It now mentions the important characteristics of ZCML directives and lists an additional risk pointed out by Martijn. It also proposes to simplify the content/class directive, something which I had forgotten to mention before. Still look for comments at http://dev.zope.org/Zope3/ReducingTheAmountOfZCMLDirectives ... One namespace for ZCML ---------------------- There have a lot of negative comments on this (even though my initial idea got several +1 on this list). I think the discussion was still helpful. It definitely proved my point that we don't really have good guidelines for managing ZCML namespaces. A lot of people also agreed with me that we have too many namespaces. My proposal of removing all namespaces was a bit too drastic, I guess. I will create a new proposal that will "only" focus on: * coming up with guidelines for creating and managing ZCML namespaces * consolidating some unnecessary namespaces that we have today into one * making ZCML a better citizen with other XML dialects I'll welcome any suggestions if some of you have any... Stay tuned :). Philipp _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list [email protected] Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
