I wish it were a bit less confusing, but let me try to explain. zopeskel as it currently exists will eventually be replaced by an empty egg which simply depends on all the various templer.whatever packages I am working on creating now. That way, folks will still be able to 'easy_install zopeskel' and get exactly what they get now. However, because we are breaking the big zopeskel up into smaller templer pieces, someone could also easy_install templer.plone_core and get only the templates that help them to create plone namespace and plone.app namespace packages, or easy_install templer.plone_addons and get theme and add-on package templates, or perhaps easy_install templer.plone and get all of the plone-related templates. We can even start creating templates for other systems, so perhaps there might eventually be templates for pylons, django, grok, or whatever else is out there. The core package really only includes the basics for a very simple namespace and nested namespace packages. I'm even considering removing the zc.buildout recipe template that is currently there and putting it into a separate buildout base package so we can start templating buildouts for all sorts of systems. I'm constantly throwing together quick buildouts for development work I'm doing in django. I want a django buildout template :) Anyway, I hope this helps make clear what is going on here. Read the manifesto on splitting zopeskel in the trunk of the zopeskel code. Joel Burton does a fantastic job of laying out the aims and rationale behind these moves. I'm just the guy to whom the job fell. Thanks for asking, and for taking a look. c ******************************** Cris Ewing Webmaster, Lead Developer Department of Radiology Web Services University of Washington School of Medicine Work Phone: (206) 616-1288 Cell Phone: (206) 708-9083 E-mail: cew...@u.washington.edu Web: http://www.rad.washington.edu ******************************* _______________________________________________ ZopeSkel mailing list ZopeSkel@lists.plone.org http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/zopeskel
