In "2.9.7+" only the "7" is meant as a minimum. So: 2.9.8 etc would be fine, when they come out. Maybe this can be phrased better yes. 2.10.something would not be good. At least I assume that Plone 2.5 will not work on Zope 2.10. Also not on zope 3.*. > A note for the developers -- my group finds this kind of > documentation vagueness problematic; we have spent too much time > chasing down minor or major problems because we chose the wrong > subversion of Zope as a base.

It *does* help to keep an eye on various mailing lists.

Maybe zope 2.10 or zope 3.* is mentioned in the plone install docs as not working. At least it would improve clarity to add this. Can you open a bug report in the plone issue tracker? http://dev.plone.org/plone -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [NL] Work | http://zestsoftware.nl/ "Do not worry about your difficulties in computers, I can assure you mine are still greater." _______________________________________________ Setup mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup
