This sounds much better then the earlier mails ;-) I'm willing to help to find a way to move the old code parts to a newer and better concept. Note, I don't use this code in my own projects and I don't propose to do that just for fun. But if someone proposes to do it, I'm willing to help. I think we have to support a smooth migration path for the old ZMI views and we can't just skip them. Releasing a Zope 3 app server is another part. I'm not sure if Stephan Richter, he told once, will support it for the future? I still think the Grok, Repoze, Plone, Zope 2 and Zope 3 developer should talk together and find a concept and see how we can find a code base which will fit for each other. This probably only means that we move the zmi part out of the existing zope.* and z3c.* packages. And each project could offer a own management concept and views for the same code base.
