Probably, I do not understand "content space". At least, I do not understand why you want to get tools out of it. Most CMF tools are location specific configurations (catalog, skins, actions, types, ...) with a bit of functionality. I do not see a big gain in implementing them as local utilities rather than their current implementation. > and to make code depending on CMF tools >more consistent with "newer" code which may depend on new utilities (at >least in the Plone world, there is a general consensus that we'd rather >not have any more content-space tools from now on). Hm: is their really that big a difference to call "getToolByName" or "getUtility"? -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See http://collector.zope.org/CMF for bug reports and feature requests
