Wow, long thread started just from an attempt to define the words we were talking about. :)

Yes. But the problem with it is that it isn't very true. The question then becomes if it's true enough to be a help or a hindrance in clearing up misconceptions. One problem with it is that it forces the hand of the people who want to continue to support Zope 3 (in sense 1 2 and 3), since they then *must* rename Zope 3 to something else. And if this happens, then we have the story that Zope 3 was renamed the Zope Toolkit, while in fact it was renamed to something else. A more truthful story is that Zope Toolkit is a base for writing frameworks, and that one of those frameworks was Zope 3, now renamed to <something cool>. But the support in this thread for the previous story makes me wonder if we shouldn't push that, slightly more incorrect story, anyway. People seem to understand it. It's in this situation possible that it's better with a false story that people understand than a correct story that just adds to the confusion. -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ 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 )
