It has been suggested several times (also by myself) to make zope.app smaller, namely to move out all the stuff that's not exclusively needed by the Zope 3 Application Server.
A good list of such packages are the ones used in Zope 2. An ultimate goal would be that Zope 2 won't have to include zope.app in the future. I've looked through the Five source code and identified a lot of such packages. I've compiled a list of them with some very basic info, foremost what I think we could do to avoid Zope 2's dependency on them (in zope.app, that is): http://codespeak.net/svn/user/philikon/MakeZopeAppSmaller.txt This list is incomplete, both in quantity and in quality. I'd still like to share it with you at this point because I would really like to hear your feedback and your ideas. For many of these I don't even have a half-baked idea of what to do. Please help me. :) We don't need to deal with them at the same time. We can do them one by one. We also don't need to complete this for Zope 3.3/2.10, but it would be nice if we can get in place as much as possible.
