Many people have said they're using the Zope 3 app server, where app server is the collection of components used to run applications using Zope 3 components. What no one is interested in is the *application* that was distributed in the Zope 3 distribution. ... > By now I count three people using Zope 3 for a small number of > projects. > But none of them seems to have the resources to continue the > maintenance > or future development of Zope 3. For many of us, the components that make up Zope 3 have become boring and don't require a lot of maintenance. > If this turns out to be the only users of the Zope 3 app server, the > community and foundation might be better of making this public in form > of stopping to advertise Zope 3 on its websites and clearly stating > that > this is a dead end. I think we have to be a lot more careful about our terminology. What definition of "app server" are we using? What the heck is the "Zope Toolkit"? Is there a page somewhere that defines what it is? I thought Zope 3 was being renamed "Zope Toolkit", but given recent discussions, I'm not sure.
