Hi,

This week saw Zope firing on all cylinders. Performance
enhancements trickled into CVS, while Zopistas far and wide
released cool new Zope stuff.

* After some Apache problems last week, Zope.org seems to be
running well. Zope.org now sports 50 user contributed How-Tos and
20 user contributed Zope products. Go team!

product.

* The prolific Evan Simpson released SiteAccess 0.0.1 and
PythonMethod 0.1.2. The PythonMethod product allows editing Python
methods through the web, and the SiteAccess product allows virtual
hosting support.

* There was quite a bit of discussion on zope-dev about WYSIWYG
tools and Zope. Dylan Jay kicked off the conversation and many
others chimed in with opinions about how Zope should or could
support WYSIWYG editing.

* Another hot topic on zope-dev was source control and how to
get access to object versions from outside ZODB.

* Jim Fulton proposed a SiteObject Zope product to allow virtual
hosting from one Zope process. Lots of folks expressed opinions.
There seem to be several Zope products in development along these
lines already, including Adam Feuer’s VirtualHostFolder and Evan
Simpson’s SiteAccess product.
