If we change the word "brand" to "megaframework", things might become clearer. Grok makes framework decisions based on getting value from the Zope 3 platform. "So what if our configuration language sucks in zope.location and pytz, we needed it anyway in our megaframework!" This view likely represents the (indeterminately sized) population of Zope insiders. Repoze doesn't have fidelity to the Zope 3 megaframework as its goal. "I asked for a configuration parser and you sucked in a security model, WTF!!" As such, Repoze probably wants something more like Zope-the-library than Zope-the-megaframework. This view likely represents the (indeterminately sized) population of Zope skeptics. Which group wins when there's a tie in the Zope Framework? It will be interesting to see. I think there's also a point about the "brand" related to how diluted the word "Zope" has become, but that is a second point to the megaframework/platform discussion. --Paul _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
