For some reason we missed that one :-( Of course, we also wanted functionality like selectively hiding slides (that way you can have lots of slides in a standard slideshow and choose subsets for a particular presentation). Still, the Products _are_ quite similar. We might be able to collaborate, but I suspect the Zope-2 architectural limitations will make it pretty difficult. For example, we have three products that are related by inheritance, and even though _we_ wrote all of them, it was interesting how much extra work it was to make them extensible in this way. With the Zope-3 architecture it would be _much_ easier. >> We found that it was actually easier to create our own >> "OrderedFolder" base class and subclass it rather than >> use OF because of the extra functionality we did not want. > > Really? You should just have used OrderedObjectManager as base class. Are you referring to the latest (0.4 IIRC) release? We did our work before that came out... >> I am willing to help out.

I think Zope-3 anticipation is building to a fever pitch.... ;-) --Craeg _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
