Agreed completely on both of those points. There's double good news on both: 1) Someone plans to do something about it. 2) Both are with community involvement. On documentation, someone in the community has committed to taking over the Documentation page on zope.org and finally organizing

Hi! This is a totally different business model than the one Zope Corp. is using right now, but it might help refinancing the overhead a good community needs to have ... Would it have to be done by ZC? No, of course not. And there could be more than one of course (though we'd need a

The second is pretty exciting as well. I saw a presentation in Paris by Juan David Palomar, of Localizer fame. (The presentation is now up at http://estce.act.uji.es:9673/localizer). The presentation impressed me on the need to get someone into the core of Zope that knows all these

Of course there are hot spots. I have asked multiple times for help on the mailing lists and the Eurozope site to identify such related hot spots. Also I had expect some input of the community regarding at unicode support inside Zope. But there has been no feedback. It looks like no one

Andreas, sorry if I have not reacted to a questions for assistance in the realm of i18n. I must have missed them. I rarely go to EuroZope since this site seems badly maintained. However I really would like to help with the internationalization of Zope since most of what we do here a my company

Both in 2.4.3 and 2.5.0 b1, the scrollbar seems to be off the end of the page and the Wider and Narrower buttons don't work. For example, in 2.5.0 b1, editing http://localhost/index_html in the browser seems to work fine but the http://localhost/standard_template.pt doesn't. I'm using IE 6.0

Hello everyone, I just had a look into Mailman again. The API seems to be very clear, even though I could not find any UML diagrams anywhere. However I found out that porting Mailman to Zope (as a Python Product) might be a very simple task. Due to the nature of the project, the
