Hmm, for the simple things, it's still good, right. But much of the
"trickier things", not mentioned in the book, aren't that good!

Perhabs it's silly me, forgetting to much of what I have learned
before? But each version of Zope I try give me the feeling of starting
from a new!

> No, only if you want to upgrade to newer Zope versions.

I think of upgrading as a "must" on public reachable systems, because
of security fixes. Maybe there are no at the moment, but when they
come, upgrades must go fast and smooth. Without recoding.

> Wow, that's a lot of exclamation marks.

Oh, sorry! Don't want do call out loud!

Then, I must have done something wrong.

But if I look at the changelogs, all the ZCML-Changes, and API
changes, it can't be that few. If I want to get on a state without any
deprecation warnings, I have more to do then I like.

It's very good to see, Zope3 ist developing, but now it's time, to get
it stable too!

Perhabs I'm not the right audience for Zope3? I'm working for a small
company, doing the web stuff is just an unimportant part of my work.
So each change I have to do is one to much. I would even love to use
Zope for my privat homepage. But it's hobby, there's not much time
to do even small changes. For larger environments (like Lexware)
this may be no problem, there is time and money for incooperating
changes in homemade packages.

Me too!

That's a real problem for me too! Each time I revisit Zope3, it has
changed very dramaticly! Old code, I wrote for learning Zope3 didn't
work at all, I have do relearn Zope3 for new!

And I realy don't know, what I would think, if I had Zope3 in use on a
productiv system? Schould I really change all packages each half a
year to reflect changes in Zope3?

Don't get me wronge, Zope3 is realy great, it has many good ideas, a
clean design, IMHO it is the best application server out there. But
it still changes to much to be usefull for smaller companies, or even
people like me, for someone just want to use it for hobby! I would not
consider the API as stable! Two much changes! Shure, they all make
things better, but it isn't stable!

Sorry! Just my two cents!

I would be very interested in something like this too! I'm still looking
for a good, threaded forum, which may keep with more then 25.000
messages.
