Hello, I have been a silently lurking applauder of SchoolTool for several years now, and wondered when / if you will be releasing a Plone Product version of the software. This would certainly be a quick way to receive plenty of feedback. Personally this would enable me to plug it into our university department portal and test it under realistic conditions, towards an April 2007 roll-out.
Hi Peter, SchoolTool uses Zope 3, and Plone is currently based on Zope 2. Unfortunately, the two aren't mutually compatible. They are, however, slowly converging. At this point, most new Plone features are based on Zope 3 technologies, and I would guess that within two years or so, Plone will completely make the jump from Zope 2 to Zope 3. At that point, cool SchoolTool/Plone collaboration will be easy. This process has gone more slowly than we would have hoped, but there's not much to be done about it. --Tom _______________________________________________ Schooltool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schooltool.org/mailman/listinfo/schooltool
