[Zope] znolk wizard

2009-04-02 Thread garry
Does anybody have a recent-ish copy of Znolk wizard product or know where I
could get hold of a copy. The original source no longer has it and the one on
the zope.org site is very old. In particular I would like it to function with
SQLite.
Regards
Garry

Trible check that your form parameters use the ':list' directive within

[Zope] Freelancing fees

2009-04-02 Thread Pablo Ziliani
Hi guys,

I've been working for the same Zope or Django projects for virtually 5 
years now, but recently, the circumstances and I reached an agreement 
concluding that it's time to start looking at freelancing. In 
consequence I need to set an hourly fee rate for the team.

So, I'm running a small studio in Argentina, taking both graphic design 
and programming stuff. The GD fee may be easier for me to figure than 
the programming one; particularly, I was wondering if the fact of 
knowing Zope2 very well added any cent to the "general programming" fee 
(whatever that could be). I know there are uncountable factors that make 
up this figure, but in order to achieve some kind of reference:

Off the top of your heads, which is a reasonable hourly fee for a 
project/task/client including zope-specific skills in the job 
description? $/€ 1, 15, 30, 50, 100, 300, ...?

Furthermore: how much if it doesn't?


Regards,
Pablo Ziliani

PS: any tip on getting Python/Zope freelance jobs, highly appreciated

Yes, but you can replace them in the same way...

Just make sure you wrap in a try/finally so you un-replace no matter

Actually, I'd back Jens on this one... You swallow Plohn you're 
swallowing one *huge* codebase that will have you trapped with some

That Zope community moved off and became the Plone community long ago.
I'd argue that anyone starting a new project in plain Zope 2 nowadays 
would doesn't already have years of experience with Zope is making a 
mistake...

...and those people would probably use repoze nowadays anyway.

[Zope] Zope 4.0, maybe not such a bad idea...

2009-04-02 Thread Chris Withers
Remember this:

http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/04/01/parrot.htm

Well, that lead to this:

http://www.parrot.org/

One of the reasons I got suckered into replying was that I thought this 
might be the result of some stuff a few of us had talked about at the 
Zope BOF at PyCon.

I actually think having a 4.0 release of Zope that unifies things could 
be used to make things a lot clearer...

- Zope Framework 4.0

What Martijn has announced and is already being worked on extensively.

- Zope A 4.0

What was to be Zope 2.12

- Zope B 4.0

Whatever the next pending release of the Zope 3 appserver stuff was to 
be. (Need to keep the Canonical and ZC guys happy afterall ;-) )

www.zope.org could then just be a radically cut down link portal to 
a.zope.org, b.zope.org and framework.zope.org, which I'd imagine to be 
brochurewear, download and/or KGS sites for each of the above.

I'd suggesting splitting the svn access stuff out to dev.zope.org 
because it transcends all three.

docs.zope.org could hoover up the rest, with any remaining stuff being 
humanely dispatched.

Seriously, how do people feel about this?

I don't think we need A&B.  Maybe just "Zope" and "Zope Framework".

I like the idea of using a number larger than 3. (I've suggested 5 in  
the past.)

Overall +1.

Unfortunately, as we discovered at the BOF, and what is currently a 
significant cause of confusion, is that the "Zope" bit isn't just one 
thing, we basically have two app-server projects named Zope right now:

- Zope 2

Used by Plone, and a few die-hard stragglers and unfortunate passerby's 
who get sucked in by the rubbish on www.zope.org

- Zope 3

Use by Canonical for Launchpad and (well, was suspected anyway) by ZC. 
I'm sure there are more.

The only sane solution I can think of is to give them both different 
names (I'm not wedded to A and B, maybe Classic and Advanced?) and let 
them evolve at their own pace from now on. I suspect their evolution 
will be glacial compared to things like Repoze.bfg and Grok, which 
should become the "new user" stories in the Zope world.

I'd *really* like to see the majority of the current www.zope.org simply 
eradicated from existence. It's out of date and a source of nothing but 
confusion.

cheers,

Chris

Yes it is old, but it is the only reliable thing I've found to rapidly

It generates dtml and ZSQLmethods reliably.

Yes, it is not used to generate finished apps, only prototypes and initial
templates.
Like my Ducati it's old, but like my Ducati it still works, and I'm not 
going to
throw the Ducati away just because it's old.

You should really give Django a go for this sort of thing, from what I 
understand, it's one of its main sweetspots...

We and canonical use the Zope Framework.  We don't use an  
application.  Zope (aka Zope 2) is an extensible application. We (ZC  
and Canonical and others) assemble components from the Zope Framework  
to build our own applications.

Hmm, maybe I got this wrong, but Gary Poster expressed a strong concern 
that "zope 3 the app server" needed to keep living.

I do think the name "Zope" should never be used on its own again.

I think "Zope Classic" would certainly work for "Zope 2 the app server", 
it conveys the right things:

- mature
- stable
- maybe not the best choice for new development.

Andrew & others have been working on this issue at the sprint. There is
consensus that www.zope.org must be turned into landing page with some
mission statement and then links to the related subprojects. The current
zope.org site should be moved to old.zope.org (it must remain
available for the time being (with URL redirections to the Products
and Member area).

Indeed, but "classic" doesn't have any "bad" connotations as far as I'm 
concerned, and it'll need to keep living as long as Plone relies on it, 
which will be forever...

Because someone needs to look after the (rather large, ancient and 
crufty) zope instance in which it lives, and it keeps on tripping up 
innocent passers-by.

I don't think many of these passers by will be put off by the 
old.zope.org url and we'll still end up with people wondering why 
LocalFS doesn't work in Zope Classic 4.0 ;-)

Yes, and I'm one of them, but I don't think it's fair to try and tempt 
new users into it...

I'm happy to be proven wrong by you writing lots of decent docs, picking 
up maintenance of zope.org and LocalFS ;-)

*shrug* I don't care if those releases on the new zope2.zope.org
microsite or somewhere else. The point is that the release should
remain available under their well-known URL - and I won't work

Why? Would you prefer 'a' or maybe 'old'? ;-)

You were clear that you want both old.zope.org and releases to remain 
available under their well-known urls. I don't see how those two 
requirements are compatible?

Re: [Zope] [Zope-dev] Zope 4.0, maybe not such a bad idea...

You're good at volunteering people to do work. 

I already maintain a lot of code, and I have my own LocalFS-type code so I 
don't see the need to maintain a different one. If I was using it, I
would happily take it over, in the same way I've given my code over to
other people to maintain.

As for docs, an army of people continually volunteer on #zope to update
the zope book. Given my other contributions to Zope society, there are
people far better suited to writing technical documentation than I.

I'm happy to be a knowledge resource for anyone wanting to update the
existing book / write a new freely available document.

Re: [Zope] RIP Zope 2!

2009-04-02 Thread Tim Nash
> > *This* community is dead, get over it and move on.

 Yeah, you are right.

If you really think zope 3 (or 4) can stand on it's own, just rename
zope 2 to 'plone base'. That will cut down on the confusion.

But beware, unless you can make zope 4 more appealling to a wider
group of casual developers it will be reduced to little more than a
well regarded library. Not anything an IT manager is in a hurry to
bring in-house. You may want to take a good look at how much money you
actually make on zope 3 consulting before you kill zope 2.

Good luck and thanks for all the contributions.

Re: [Zope] znolk wizard

2009-04-02 Thread robert rottermann
take collective.mercury this generates intterfaces from every table.
with such an interface yaou need only a couple of lines to build an edit form
for every table.
somethings like:

class DeclarationKLView(formbase.PageForm):
form_fields = form.Fields(ItblDeclaration_klTable)
ignoreContext = True # don't use context to get widget data

#def __init__(self, *args, **kw):
#ItemAddForm.__init__(self, *args, **kw)

@form.action(_(u"Send"))
def action_send(self, action, data):
"""Send the email to the site administrator and redirect to the
front page, showing a status message to say the message was received.
"""
self.ToWhatIsNeededToBeDone(..)
