I have not submitted any zope packages for review, currently they are living in my own git repo. When I say "get something working" I mean in a separate repo. Once we have something working and with good standards learned from actual practice, we can figure out a merge strategy. I do suspect someone is going to have to port zope2 to python 2.7. In fact, I think we should focus on those packages using CPython right now and make sure they work on 2.6 and 2.7. Pure python is a bit easier. Who can setup a Zope SIG mailing list?

I think we need to set up a third party repo first like texlive 2010 before finally determined to submit those components for package review.

F14 is targeting python2.7, we still need to wait this. Hope most of those components can be compatible with python2.7. FYI, zope2 can co-exist with zope3, but plone4 can't co-exist with plone3(plone4 is an update for plone3). We also need to set up a maillist like other SIG to talk zope-related issues.

The most important things are: 1. Packaging guidelines 2. Component upgrade guidelines 3. Namespace issues (addressed above) 4. Zope 2 vs Zope 3 (again, addressed above) I think we should talk sooner rather than later. Anyone want to setup a meeting time? Just an FYI, it is my current plan (probably because I am completely ignorant as to how much pain this will cause) is to simply package the latest version of all Zenoss dependencies and then work through whatever bugs I find. I'm in a somewhat unique situation though in that I have the ability to commit to upstream. This may be a less than ideal plan for other applications. As I mentioned to Jonathan on IRC, I think the best plan is to try to get something working'ish as soon as possible and then try to shakedown the details from there. If we bog ourselves down in policy (an easy quagmire to get stuck in when in zopeland) we may get too discouraged to continue. Not to dismiss what will be the very needed policy, I just want to make sure no-one gets burned out. One thing we may want to consider is a "tenant" policy. That is, the zope stack as a whole has "tenants" (Zenoss, Plone, etc). The tenants would be formally defined and any upgrade to any component in the platform would require signoff from all the tenants who depend on that component (or some derivation thereof). I suspect that the short-term trade-off of buildouts/bundling is not as valuable as the long-term value of testing a software product across multiple versions of its dependencies.
