G’day,
Zope Weekly News is a digest of some of the useful and
interesting events which have occurred on the various Zope mailing
lists and the Zope.org site. It is published each Wednesday
evening.
Any opinions contained in the Zope Weekly News are those of the
chronicler exclusively.
Announcements
* Amos Lattier put out a call for FastCGI problems. Amos is
revisiting FastCGI support, so the more you complain the better it
will be.

* Paul Everitt has alerted everyone to the latest issue of Linux
Magazine, which contains an article “Gold Rush: Venture Capitalists

Hadar Pedhazur at length.

Updates

authenticates Zope users from NT user accounts. It only runs on
Windows NT. The latest release is 1.3.

* “phd” has updated mod_pcgi2 several times this week. mod_pcgi2
moves PGCI’s calling code into Apache’s process to eliminate the
so-called “fork tax”. This makes requests more responsive. The
latest version is 0.1.2.
