ZWN-1999-12-01

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.

Updates

  • "anthony" updated his SQLSessions product. SQLSessions uses SQL databases to store information on a per-session basis.

  • "MikeP" updated the ZDiscussions product. This release adds a preview function and makes customisation at the instance level much easier.

Zope.org items

  • Paul Everitt has published a page with Zope logos and a ZIP file containing EPS versions.

  • "TheJester" has posted a How-to on getting the SybaseDA working on FreeBSD, with patches.

  • "hippy" has submitted a How-to explaining the use of the 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.

Notable Discussions

  • Paul Everitt put out a call for Zope Solution Providers to participate in a referral program.

  • "FR Chalaoux" announced the creation of Zope France to provide a place for Francophone Zope users to meet. Please send email for more information.

  • Scott Robertson of CodeIt Computing has put out a call for full-time developers. CodeIt is located in southern California.

    http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-November/014653.html

  • 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.
