Hello:

It's been a pretty busy week in Zopeland. Lots of announcements, lots of activity on the Zope Documentation Project list, lots of questions, and even some answers.

(Note: Unfortunately this week there is a problem with the Zope mailing list archive which prevents the listing of normal URLs to go along with all news items. This should be fixed by next week. So this week I am substituting egroups URLs as needed.)

* Jim Fulton, technical director at Digital Creations, and Zope guru number one, announced that on May 19 there will be a Zope 2.0 Alpha 1 source release. This means we are getting closer to having a fully threaded Zope! The only question is whether to hack Zope that day or see that new movie, what's it called again...

* Beehive held the first Berlin Zope Barbecue! Not only that, but it was broadcast live on the net.

* Paul Everitt asked for help with work writing a short piece of Zope for a forth-coming O'Reilly book on Python and Windows. He also posted a partial implementation of a COM Method object. However, it seems that perhaps the turnaround time on this project is too short for much of a community effort.

* Many people discussed problems with IE and the latest Zope release. It looks like its an issue of HTTP headers.

* Paul Everitt made a long post about Zope on an Infoworld forum about open source and business and generated some interesting comments.

* Amos Latteier posted a rough draft of a ZClasses tutorial. Lots of folks are starting to use ZClasses now. Information is still scarce and lots of things are still changing (witness CVS activity), however more information is emerging and people are discovering cool things.
