I think that this needs to happen Real Soon. I propose that this friday (the 15th) is the deadline for adding/volunteering for the 2.6 plan. After Friday, we need to cull the list to something managable (there is quite a lot there now). I further propose that any item on the list that does not have a sponsor (someone who has explicitly signed up to see the feature through, incl. associated tests, documentation, API help etc.) by Friday gets dropped from the plan. The working timeline for Zope 2.6 is to have an alpha out in about 6 weeks (beginning of May). Things whose sponsors don't think they can make that timeline should probably come off of the 2.6 plan (though they certainly can continue the projects, they would just go into a later release). So let's see what the list looks like after Friday when we know what is unchampioned or will not fit in the timeframe. Early next week, we should plan to debate the remaining items and finalize the list. It would be great if those who have volunteered to lead 2.6 projects could contact me with a rough est. of how long you think it will take and what collateral tasks there will be (any updating of existing documentation, new docs / API help and unit tests). I'll volunteer to update the plan in a little more detail. > > 2) If we had a brief Zope 2.6 style guide, similar to the Zope 3 > stuff, that > would be cool.

I think any of the /tests directories in the Zope core are decent examples. Brian Lloyd [EMAIL PROTECTED] V.P.
