Subject: Zope Weekly News for November 1st, 2000
Something about those python guys,
put your writes in a “Lock Box”,
Brazil and Netherlands in XML tryst,
Petrilli digs to the Dublin Core,
Davis wants a quick fix,
and is there a Doc in the house?
The opinions expressed in Zope Weekly news are solely the
authors’, and not the opinions of Digital Creations, The Zope
Community at-large, or the Spanish Inquisition.
If you or your company are doing something cool with zope,

As most of you probably already know, Digital Creations is proud
to welcome the Python Labs group to our team! You can “read Guido’s
announcement”,

Last week saw more progress on Jeffrey Shell’s “Write Locking”
project to support DAV-aware Web tools that require DAV locking
support on the server.
HiperLogica and Martijn Pieters are moving the HiperDom project
forward. Zopistas interested in this project to add XMLC-like
templating to Zope should visit the new HiperDom development home
now, while the requirements are being formalized, and “get their
licks in”,

Chris Petrilli has added a proposal to add standard metadata to
Zope objects. “Read the proposal”,

Adam Davis has added a proposal for several “quick fixes” that
we could make to the Zope management interface in the 2.3 release
timeframe to “improve productivity”,

Near Future
Expect a 2.2.3 release in the next week the contains fixes for
all Hotfix bugs to date and a number of collector fixes. Work will
also be proceeding on several of the items on the Zope 2.3 plan
(which is available on dev.zope.org).
We will also be working on applying some better organization to
dev.zope.org to make it easier to find what you are looking for and
to get “at a glance” status for various projects and proposals.
