GenericSetup mini-tutorial published

Florent Guillaume has published a document explaining why and how to use GenericSetup, the new framework (included in CMF 1.6) to express declaratively the configuration of a Zope (+ CMF, CPS, etc.) application. From the document:

GenericSetup is a framework to describe the configuration of a Zope site as a set of XML files (and sometimes other associated files). It can import profiles, which may create objects or change their configuration, and export profiles, which makes a snapshot of the configuration and writes it to a set of XML files.

GenericSetup provides a tool that can store snapshots of a configuration in the ZODB itself, where it can be examined and even modified. It can also do diffs between two snapshots, which is very useful to find out what changed in a configuration (it's a good idea to take a full snapshot anytime some significant changes are made to the configuration).

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
