Zope and Plone – a whole lot of changes
Posted at 9:07am on Monday, February 20th, 2006Crikey. So. An awful lot is going on all of a sudden (or so it appears):
- Zope 3.2 is released, and it replaces ZServer with the Twisted Server (something that I know Doug for one will be very excited about).
- At the same time there are moves afoot to fork the Plone collective, creating a new repository for products that are ‘high quality’ (have installation instructions, use Zope 3 concepts, use eggs, etc)
- And on top of all that 3 (yes *3*) Plone roadmaps have been published – 2.1.3 (next maintenance release), 2.5 (next infrastructure release) and 3.0 (which at the moment looks like it should be called the AJAX release).
Looks like a) Zope 3 is suddenly looking very very good (rather than simply very good, as it was), and b) Plone is looking to use Zope 3’s concepts sooner than perhaps imagined. That learning curve never gets any shallower, does it?
