That *is* a community problem.
(Luckily, there are people helping out, and the "nice people driven-development" rule overrides that other rule I mentioned, so things will get tweaked sooner or later.) </F> On Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 1:02 PM, Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Fredrik Lundh wrote: >> Oh, it was just yet another Zope developer behaving like an ass.
