Hey, Thanks Baiju for getting it this far and Jens for helping to set it up!

While it's good if this appears in the Zope stack documentation site, I think it's also important for there being a separate identity for the buildout project. This goes beyond documentation, but also talks about a developer community and invites people to use it in their own projects, as well as contribute. I also think an overview of recipes could be a good part of this. I think a separate website is part of such an identity. Other things that could help establish an identity are things like a logo.

If anyone want contribute to the content please add it here: svn co svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/buildout-website/trunk/ One thing I wondered is whether we cannot make the buildout website, at least the documentation bits, part of the buildout SVN project itself. This way we can make release specific documentation releases as well, like for instance Python does. We do still need an entry page for the buildout site itself, though. Perhaps this could also be maintained in the buildout svn.

I think this is a really fantastic idea. To speak broadly, it's great that you're so mindful of the real importance of identity -- in both a branding sense and simply in the sense of being a self-contained entity -- for the development of software communities and software itself. Buildout is a standalone product independent of the Zope framework or libraries, but that's only meaningful if it actively establishes an independent identity in people's minds. I think you're doing a really great thing for the community by paying attention to these issues. So, in short, thanks. :) Cheers, Ethan Regards, Martijn ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ) ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
