This is a very very good point...

Another good point.

This is a really really good point ;-)
I think unification is probably a good idea, but not yet...

Even so, I'd much prefer to see Z3 stay "light" of Zope 2 and just have 
Zope 2 become smaller and smaller as it leverages more and more of Zope 3.


Put differently, I have no problem with the repositories merging, but 
I'd like to see the bits of Zope 3 seperately available, without Z2. I 
know ZPT and testbrowser already work like that, and the more that works 
like that the better...

I agree with the points your raise but I worry about the arrival of the

Note that I don't claim that my leaving would stall the development. I just 
use my case as an example. I always consider myself of someone, who accepts a 
very high bar for contributing. So, if I think the the bar is too high, my 
thinking goes, then others will also conceive it as too high and that causes 
the stalling.

Everyone is replaceable, I have learned that in the US. But a certain group 
might not as easily be.

I know that The Zope 2 people are around. And I try to answer Five questions 
on the lsits and on IRC as good as I can. I also have nothing against hearing 
the interest of the Zope 2 community. But I am also in a position where I 
must protect the interests of the Zope-3-only community as well. And in *my* 
opinion, in this particular case the Zope 2 community has a lot to gain at 
the expense of the Zope-3-only community. I have outlined my arguments for 
that statement in the many E-mails before.

Regards,
Stephan

Exactly. In this case Zope2 will be a more a 'configuration' of Zope3.
Well, I'm repeating my self here ...

yup. This is my impression. This is too early...

I can only agree with this on this.

So you think it is better to loose the existing Zope 3 developers in 
anticipation of more community involvement? This would be Zope 3's death blow 
as we know it, because it would stall Zope 3 for several months. Honestly, I 
rather have less exposure and keep the code base clean.


I don't think that threats to leave and portrayals of utter doom are a 
fair way to discuss this, Stephan. I must say I find it extremely ironic 
to hear from you that stalling Zope 3 for several months is a death blow 
to Zope 3 -- where was this sentiment in the past? :)


Like it or not, merging the repository or not, you'd better get used to 
the fact that Zope 2 developers are here in your community and that they 
will speak up to let their interests be known. It's in your interest to 
make us happy, actually, as we're working to make Zope 3 a better 
community and a better system.
