> Hello there,
>
>   Two new Zope releases were announced this week, 2.0a2 and 1.10.3b1. In
> addition, there were announcements on other exciting Zope projects, and
> the volume on the Zope mailing lists continued at high levels. There's
> so much activity in Zope land that people are starting to talk about
> splitting the Zope lists again.
>
>   * Zope 2.0 a2 was released. This release is the second alpha source
> release of Zope 2. Many bugs were fixed, including an important memory
> leak, and a few new features were added including an experimental DTML
> syntax. We're getting closer to a Zope 2 beta release, but there's still
> a ways to go.

> for Zope 2.0a2, and the goal of creating some kind of Python Method
> object which is editable through the web.
