for next release we plan to replace several parts with the corresponding
components from Zope 3 (e.g. ZPT´). Philipp is working on a proposal on
that issue. In addition I would like to get rid of some old stuff that
is no longer maintained and buggy:
- ZopeTutorial (could be ripped off without implications and made available
for download on zope.org)
+1
- HelpSys - from a programmers view pretty much useless and not very
helpful. I consider to replace it with something more useful (not sure
we can re-use apidoc from Zope 3 in some way, perhaps the inclusion
of Dieter's Docfinder might be more useful for programmers)
+0, it would be useful to not use the explanation texts that are in the help
system, or at list check that other material (docstrings, zope book) are at
least as comprehensive.
- Gadfly(DA) - do we really need this? We discussed this already. In my
opinion the purpose of Gadfly is only educational but nothing that one
really needs or uses for production. It could be removed and made
available for download on zope.org.
Gadfly should go, but OTOH have sqlite in its place would still provide SQL
inside Zope and that could be a good plus.
And my favourite enemy in Zope: ZClasses :-) I would like to mark them
_clearly_ as an obsolete feature (DeprecationWarning, Warnings in the
ZMI and the Zope Book). I _don't_ propose to remove them at some point
but ppl should be aware that they are using one of the most-scary
components in Zope (please no further discussion about the pros and cons
of ZClasses..this discussion took already place already a bunch of times
on the list).
+1 as I don't use ZClasses and don't intend to maintain them.
