hello, is there any interest from the zope/z3c developers in unifying zope.mimetype and z3c.filetype?
while the implementation of the packages is very different, the "goals" of both of them seem to be the same: to identify the contents of file-like objects and mark them with an appropiate interface. I don't know if there is some licesing or some other kind of "political" issues ( "zope vs z3c" ), but IMVHO it would be great if the two packages were merged. I'm not really a zope developer yet, but if the maintainers of those packs are interested, I could try to help with that. If a complete merge is not possible, then I think that at least the two groups should agree on a common interface so that users can decide which package they want to use: for example: z3c.filetype works on objects implementing z3c.filetype.interfaces.ITypeableFile and zope.mimetype works on objects implementing zope.mimetype.interfaces.IContentTypeAware It would be really good if both implementations (in case they are not merged) would work on some "zope.IFileContents" (example) interface and people could choose either one of the packages. comments? regards. luis _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
