Hi,

Here's a summary of some of the goings on in Zope land this week.

Over on the normally technical zope-dev list some people are sharing
grand visions about Zope.

* Ken Manheimer has some interesting thoughts about the parallels
between Object Oriented Programming and Zope.

* Ross J. Reedstrom considers possibilities for web-objects, meta-data,
XML, and Zope.

On the Zope list things were a bit more sober this week. Though the
usual fun of inventing strange names for those-who-use-Zope continues
unabated.

* Thomas Riedl announced that he is working on an Adabas database
adapter.

* There was lots of discussion this week about Zope PR, Linux Expo.
Notable was Brian Llyod's discussion of the development of a Zope
message and plans for a major Zope site overhaul along community portal
lines.

* In a discussion of looping in DTML, Martijn Pieters pointed out that
he has a patch for a safe DTML range function available.

* The prolific Martijn Pieters solves a difficult problem with
authentication that turns out to be an IIS 4 bug.

* Johan Carlsson announced a Swedish Zope mailing list and later posted
an address change for the mailing list.
