Zope Weekly News - Wed, 1 Dec 1999

[Mike Pelletier]

G'day,

Zope Weekly News is a digest of some of the useful and interesting
events which have occurred on the various Zope mailing lists and the
Zope.org site. It is published each Wednesday evening.

Somewhat quiet this week, as much of the Zope community struggles
to deal with turkey overload.

New Products and Announcements

* "gaaros" released a new product called FSSession. It allows you
to store per-session information on the filesystem.

databases to store information on a per-session basis.

preview function and makes customisation at the instance level
much easier.

GenericUserFolder product to store authentication information in
an SQL database.

* "Amos" wrote a How-to about using ZPublisher and ZServer to
publish arbitrary Python modules. If you remember Bobo, this will
be familiar.

* "FR Chalaoux" <chal...@cybercable.fr> announced the creation of
Zope France to provide a place for Francophone Zope users to
meet. Please send email for more information.

* Scott Robertson <srob...@codeit.com> of CodeIt Computing has put
out a call for full-time developers. CodeIt is located in
southern California.

* Arjan Scherpenisse put out feelers for non-web based Zope
management clients. Stephen Pitts offers a lead.

* The high volume of the Zope lists has become a topic again.
Suggestions have been made to start a Zope newsgroup, but many
believe that would only aggravate the problem by inviting more
off-topic, spammy and flammable posts. Some have suggested a
private (as in open but not part of USENET), gatewayed server. So
far, no one has stepped up to the plate by producing one.
