I've only briefly looked at it, but I think it may be possible. Can you be a more specific about how you think their definitions matter? My idea was to write a widget factory that attempts to adapt a zope.app.form widget to a z3c.form.interfaces.IWidget or one of its specialisations. If the widget had enough information to render itself, then so long as it got the right request through, I would hope that it'd return a value. We may not get all the bells and whistles here - things like value adapters and custom data converters may be out. For most widgets, that may not be necessary, though. > BTW, it would be a bridge from zope.app.form widgets to z3c.form ones. > zope.formlib does not define its own widgets. Right, sorry.
