Hello

When it comes to Zope people seem to have 2 opinions. (Maybe that's the 2 in the name ;-) ). A lot of people seem to use it (with or even without Plone) and loving it and a lot of people call it dead because there is (almost) no new development. At least on the Zope package itself. I myself like to work with Zope too but I know web development changed in the last couple of years and there are other options around.
I don't know if it is worth the thing but to have a future Zope needs

 - A MAINTAINER!!!
 - MARKETING!
 - DOCUMENTATION!
 - Usability improvements (frameless, responsive ZMI)
 - Technical improvements (Port to Python3, WSGI, ...)

The technical improvements could be organized/financed with a pledgie the others are possibly harder to solve.

My 2 cents
Tom

I've sent you a download link.

I’m somewhat familiar with it, as I managed at least the zope2 wiki (and
wrote Zwiki), so please call on me for help as you need, on the mail
list or directly. I’m sm in the #zope IRC channel. Thanks for working on it.

Nice discussion!

I don't know about docs.zope.org, but I'll just add a status update on
the zope wikis, which held quite a lot of historical and reference
information. They used to be hosted by Zope Corp or maybe Zope
Foundation, they went dark a few years back and no-one complained, more
recently Fred Drake sent me a snapshot of their content, I forgot about
it for a while, now I should probably revive and host them in read-only
mode, as soon as I find a tuit. If anyone else would like to work on it
sooner, just let me know.

Best
-Simon
