Unfortunately, as we discovered at the BOF, and what is currently a
significant cause of confusion, is that the "Zope" bit isn't just one
thing, we basically have two app-server projects named Zope right now:
- Zope 2
Used by Plone, and a few die-hard stragglers and unfortunate passerby's
who get sucked in by the rubbish on www.zope.org
- Zope 3
Use by Canonical for Launchpad and (well, was suspected anyway) by ZC.
I'm sure there are more.
The only sane solution I can think of is to give them both different
names (I'm not wedded to A and B, maybe Classic and Advanced?) and let
them evolve at their own pace from now on. I suspect their evolution
will be glacial compared to things like Repoze.bfg and Grok, which
should become the "new user" stories in the Zope world.
I'd *really* like to see the majority of the current www.zope.org simply
eradicated from existence. It's out of date and a source of nothing but
confusion.
cheers,
Chris
