Zope Directions Roadmap Posted

[Amos Latteier]

Hello Pythoneers,

I am excited to announce a Zope Directions Roadmap.

  http://dev.zope.org/Resources/ZopeDirections.html

This document summarizes current thinking at Digital Creations about
where the Zope platform is going from an architectural point of
view. It summarizes informal conversations that we've been having
internally for the past couple months.

This paper talks about how we'd like to improve Zope to make it easier
for Python developers. It puts some existing initiatives
(e.g. Presentation Templates, and the Content Management Framework) in
context, and discusses potential future projects like moving to a
component architecture.

I should point out that this document is not a concrete plan so much
as a statement of what's on our minds. Zope development will continue
to operate openly in the fishbowl (http://dev.zope.org/).

We'd love to hear what you have to say. Are we heading in the right
direction? Is there something else that we should be doing instead to
help developers? Let us know. (Follow up should be on the zope-dev
mailing list.) And when we begin new fishbowl projects (look for a
component architecture project soon) jump in and help define Zope's
future!

-Amos
