The major news was the release of ZServer beta 1, which was immediately met with a couple bug reports, but nothing too serious. Also this week a number of folks sounded off about how much they like Zope. * A request for Zope testimonials by Marquess E. Lewis netted some interesting responses including a message by Luciano Ramalho about how Zope is used to run the Brazilian site "IDG Now!" http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-April/005925.html http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-April/005960.html And while were on the subject, here's a spontaneously offered testimonial. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-April/005968.html * ZServer Beta 1 was released. ZServer integrates Zope with the Medusa internet server framework, and allows Zope to speak multiple internet Protocols including HTTP, FTP, WebDAV, PCGI, etc. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-April/005903.html http://www.zope.org/Download/ZServer * Amos Latteier tried to put "object publishing" into perspective. Yes you can publish arbitrary Python objects on the web with Zope. It just depends on how you define "Zope" ;-) http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-April/006003.html * Mike Pelletier (not to be confused with Michel Pelletier) offered some humor on the name "Zope". http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-April/006012.html * Scott Lewis started an interesting thread on how to organize objects in Folders, Acquisition, and Zope Zen. Later in the thread John Eikenberry revealed a little of the power and subtlety of Acquisition. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-April/006028.html http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-April/006038.html * Michel Pelletier (not to be confused with Mike Pelletier) posted some Zope developer documentation. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/1999-April/000317.html http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/1999-April/000318.html * Pavlos Christoforou offers a Structured Text enhancement to handle tables. http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/1999-April/000312.html -Amos -- Amos Latteier mailto:amos@digicool.com Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
