November 27 Zope News

Remember June? The sun, the beach, the last issue of the Zope News. But now it's November and we're in the post-sniper, post-election, post-news world. Lots of things have happened during this time: Zope 2.6 was released, ZEO 2.0 and ZODB 3.1 are also ready, the first alpha for Zope 3 is coming, Plone and CMF continue to shine, and Zope won Linux Journal's 2002 Editors' Choice Award for Best Enterprise App Server.

And that brings us firmly to the Stuffed Turkey November 2002 edition of the Zope News. Slather on some gravy, give thanks to the pilgrims that came over on the Zopeflower, and read on.

Index

1. Lead Story: Zope 2.6 - Dinner is Served!

It baked, then baked some more, then baked forever. But Zope 2.6 got released, marking a significant milestone in the history of Zope. With this release, the community is doing the majority of Zope development. A hearty congratulations goes out to the external contributors who adhered to the growing pains of the process and produced a platefull of useful features and a solid release:

Toby Dickenson, Lennart Regebro, Evan Simpson, Torped Strategy and Communications, Jeffrey Shell, Toby Dickenson, Florent Guillaume, Andreas Jung, and Chris Withers

And what is it that these fine people did for Zope? Here's a partial list:

Gzip content compression when serving pages
ZCTextIndex plug-in index
Signal Handling and Log Rotation
Addition of a new default view setting ability
New profiling abilities
Improved daemon mode
Enhanced text indexing
Improved object cache control
Automatic browser ID string embedding in URLs
Major improvements to BTree and Catalog code
i18n translation support for TAL

You can download Zope 2.6 at:

http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope/2.6.0/

The release notes are also available, as is the change log.

Brian Lloyd adds that there are a few known bugs in 2.6.0 (DateTime bug + some ZODB issues that affect certain ZEO setups that use multiple mounted databases) and that a 2.6.1 beta is planned for next week, with the 2.6.1 final following a week or so after.

2. Upcoming Events

Rotterdam sprint, Dec 2-6
Vilnius sprint, Dec 10-12
Zope conference at SolutionsLinux, Paris, Feb 2003
DZUG sprint, Mar 24-27, Berlin, Germany
Down Under sprint, Melbourne, Australia, April 2003

3. Zope 3.0 - Alpha Before the New Year?

The development of the new Zope 3.0 is proceeding at a good pace, there's even talk about an alpha version before the end of the year (and by Jim Fulton himself). Meanwhile, Gary Poster has started a newsletter to keep the community informed about the development:

http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/Zope3Newsletter

This newsletter is a great effort and should help increase community awareness and involvement in this promising project. It even includes a glossary to help people get familiar with Zope 3.0 terminology.

4. The New zope.org - Guido and Sidnei Are In Charge

One problem with Zope that almost everyone acknowledges, has nothing to do with the software: the zope.org web site is well, ugly. Several efforts to address this during the last couple of years have stalled and gone nowhere.

Happily, this is about to be solved. Zope Corporation's business, after all, is consulting, and that and the little matter of putting out new releases of Zope and related software now and then kind of uses up ZC developers' time. So, instead of adding 'create an all new zope.org site' to the todo list of a member of ZC's staff, the company has retained the services of an outside developer, Sidnei Da Silva, to do the work. In addition, since Guido van Rossum apparently commented to the powers-that-be at ZC that he was unhappy with the site, he was put in charge of overseeing its development, so we can be sure that the new zope.org will really arrive this time.

According to Guido, the new zope.org will:

Use Zope 2.6 with CMF 1.3
Use a new skin design, as seen at www.zope.ch.
Use the new ZCTextIndex search engine
Migrate all existing users and as much content as practical

For Guido's comments on the subject, see:

http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2002-October/125826.html

Sidnei himself explains the situation here:

http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2002-October/125456.html

5. ZEO 2.0 and ZODB 3.1 - New and Improved

On October 28, Jeremy Hylton announced the release of ZEO 2.0 and ZODB 3.1.

ZEO 2.0 is a more mature release with a new wire protocol and various performance and efficiency improvements. ZEO comes together with the Standalone ZODB distribution, or you can download it at:

http://www.zope.org/Products/ZEO

ZEO users may be pleased to know that Guido van Rossum has written some cache instrumentation code which can help determine the right size for the client cache. He also would like to get some help with the testing. More information can be found here:

http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-announce/2002-September/000874.html

Standalone ZODB is an effort to promote the use of the ZODB in regular Python applications, and it is clearly gaining momentum. For example, it is mentioned in a recent IBM developerWorks article on Python Persistence Management. Check out the ZODB standalone release at:

http://www.zope.org/Products/StandaloneZODB

Jeremy has also posted a ZODB 3.2 release plan.

6. New Berkeley-Based Storages Available - Let's Kick Some Tires!

New Berkeley storages are now available. Rumor has it that Jim is "quite confident" of these new storage options and would really like some people to start kicking them around!

See the announcements for versions 2.0beta1 and 2.0beta2 here:

Download the distutils tarball from SourceForge:

http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15628&release_id=123192

Or see the Berkeley storage Wiki for more information:

http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/BerkeleyStorage

A quick overview of what's new (2.0beta1):

No more lock exhaustion problems.
No more temporary commit log files.
No more huge memory growth on packing.
Recoverability.
Autopacking.
Configurability.

2.0 beta 2 (19-Nov-2002)

Implemented checkpointing as a background thread, instead of as a periodic nth ZODB transaction event.
Added the lastTransaction() method which is required by recovery (used in the test suite and in the Zope Replication Service).
Bug fixes and refactoring.

7. CMF: A New Release Reaches Larger Audience

On August 6, release 1.3 of the CMF was announced. New features include the following:

HTML content is now "scrubbed" when edited to remove tags which might allow cross-site scripting.
PortalFolders can now be workflowed and discussed (neither is enabled by default).
Tools which provide "actions" now allow editing of those actions via the ZMI.
The DublinCore modification date is now stored as an explicit attribute of content, rather than being inferred from the underlying ZODB value.
New PathIndex, path, is a standard part of the catalog.
New calendar display is now a standard part of the ZPT skins.
Filesystem-based skin methods can now have custom role-permission mappings, stored in separate .security files.
New CachingPolicyManager tool governs HTTP caching headers for FSPageTemplates.

You can find more information at:

http://cmf.zope.org/download/CMF-1.3/announce

The CMF is quickly gathering a group of first time Zope users around it, because it is so simple to set up a portal site with it. Also, more and more developers are contributing products specifically created for the CMF. A search in the Zope.org site showed more than 30.

8. Plone: 1.0 Final Coming Soon!

This excellent content management system built on top of Zope and the CMF is very near the 1.0 release (which in fact is supposed to happen no later than the end of this month). Plone has become the most well known Zope application, on the strength of a great design, professionalism and a very active user community.

The Plone community has a clear plan on what they want Plone to accomplish, and they are certainly getting there fast. Not only is Plone an excellent product (some would call it the best Open Source CMS), it is also easy to install and setup. Also, the plone web site seems to always be up to date and constantly announces both Plone happennings and site modifications.

You can find the latest release of Plone at:

http://plone.org/download/

The Plone community is always looking for talented people to help them out with anything from development to testing. You can find more information here:

http://plone.org/development

9. Zope Corporation - Zope Europe, AARP & ESI

Of course, whatever is news at Zope Corporation, the creators of Zope, is interesting stuff for the Zope community. During the past few months, maybe the most important announcement by ZC was the departure of Paul Everitt from the company to form the new EuroZope Foundation.

Paul, a co-founder of ZC and the most influential and well-known Zope advocate around, has moved to France to head the new foundation, which will have the mission of promoting the use of Zope and business opportunities in the European communities.

So far, owing to Paul's busy schedule due to relocation activities and previous commitments, little has happened on this front, but the new foundation, which will be called Zope Europe Association instead of EuroZope, will very soon be active and promoting Zope growth in Europe.

Here is a message from October 7 where Paul explains the current situation:

https://admin.comlounge.net/pipermail/eurozope/2002-October/001492.html

Another interesting announcement from ZC is the launch by AARP of their new Zope-based CMS. This is important because AARP is a big organization and their web portal is surely a site we can show around when asked who uses Zope. The press release can be found here:

http://www.opticality.com/Press/ZopeCorp/AARP

Last on the ZC front is the announcement made on October 30 that the company contracted with the development team of the Squid cache software, a popular caching front end for Zope, for the inclusion of ESI (edge-side includes) on Squid.

ESI allows web developers to cache only specific parts of a web page, instead of the whole page. This is obviously a great feature for highly dynamic web site environments like Zope, and was previously available only in commercial application servers.

Future releases of Zope may include automatic generation of ESI directives, similar to the cache control directive generation available on current Zope releases. The press release is at:

http://www.opticality.com/Press/ZopeCorp/ESI-Squid

10. Zope Zen: If Only One, This is It

ZopeZen is the most interesting and active Zope site around. If you only visit one Zope site this should be it. Andy McKay does a great job keeping the site up to date and, unlike the zope.org site, ZopeZen uses the latest Zope technology, like Zope 2.5.1, CMF 1.3 and Plone.

For instance, Andy recently ran a poll to hand out Zope Community Awards. In September he posted the results. A special congratulations to Dieter Mauer for winning "Most helpful community person".

This is also the site that gets most community participation, in the form of announcements and commentary on Zope news and developments. Some recent postings include:

Andy created a wondeful tutorial on how he set up the ZopeZen site. If you ever wanted to set up a community portal or are just interested about setting up a cool Zope site, check out part 1 (setting up), part 2 (customizing plone) and part 3 (more Plone hacking).
A posting about the new Zope 3 newsletter, originated a discussion about community involvement, which in turn made Zope Corp's Chris McDonough feel the urge to post a whine about whiners. Basically, I feel that Chris, who uses lots of his free time to do Zope related work, wanted to make the point that precisely the idea of an open source community is that when something needs to be done, any member of this community can do it, so, if people have the time to whine, why not do something more constructive with that time?

11. Activities of the German ZOPE User Group (DZUG)

The German ZOPE User Group (DZUG) was founded in April 2002 by Maik Jablonski and Marcus Schopen at Universtiy of Bielefeld.

Since April we are running a CMF-website as well as several mailinglists and a news server with over 200 very active subscribers. DZUG was present at Linuxworld Frankfurt at the end of October in Frankfurt, Germany. (Paul wrote a trip report.) For next year we are planning to make an appearance at LinuxTag as well.

Our first DZUG conference in the city of Bielefeld was a great success, so for March 2003 we are planning a second big meeting and conference.

For more information and call for papers see dzug.org or contact us at [email protected].

12. Jim Sprints All The Way To India

Sathya Rangaswamy from Zeomega gave a summary of Jim's Sprint in India, hosted by Zeomega.

ZeOmega worked under the guidance of Jim on Zope3. Contributions were made in the areas of File System based development and thru the web configuration.

File System based development moved a step further with the addition of File System Synchronization which provides the ability to synchronize ZODB objects with corresponding directories and files on the file system. This will enable developers to use commonly available development tools to work with Zope objects and synchronize them with the ZODB.

Thru the web configuration and development got a boost with development of an Introspector which allows browsing of services configured in the service managers and interfaces implemented by objects in the ZODB. We also added a configuration manager which will simplify configuration of services and service directives via the browser.

On a side note during a site seeing trip a temple elephant instantly recoginized the Zope pope, greeting him with a trunk salute and wished Zope 3 well (see pictures above )

13. Python/Zope Day in Malaysia a Success

The first ever Python/Zope Day was organized by my-zope.org and e-Media on October 12, 2002.

Martijn Faassen kindly spared one of his vacation day to give a taste of Python and Zope to Malaysians.

Check out the report and some photos.

14. Zope in the News

The most important bit of news these past moths is of course the Linux Journal award for best enterprise application server, which Zope Corporation triumphantly announced this August. Congratulations to all Zope community members. It is nice to be able to point at this kind of stuff when people ask us how good Zope really is.

Here is the press release:

http://www.zope.com/News/PressReleases/LinuxJournalAward

And here is the Linux Journal press release:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6260

Other than this award, Zope has been featured in a number of technology articles lately. Here is a sample:

An overview of the Open Source front from IDG on June 10 mentions that the French Ministry of Culture and Communications uses Zope.

The June issue of Application Development Trends magazine has an article about Open Source servers today that mentions how the Navy uses Zope.

On July 16 an article about the San Diego Union Tribune's Internet division appeared on the connect.org website, explaining how San Diego's largest newspaper uses Zope and Open Source to handle 20 million page views every month.

The November issue of Linux Productivity Magazine has an introductory article about Zope.

DevShed ran a series of four ZPT basics articles, from September 18 to October 31. If you need to learn how to use ZPT, have a look at Part 1, part 2, part3 and part 4.

15. You want fries with that easy install?

Chris McDonough has been working on a branch of Zope2 which is easier to install and configure. His efforts today exist in the Zope CVS repository as the chrism-install-branch.

Features of this branch currently include:

"configure; make; make install" Zope installation on UNIX and Windows NT/2k.
Automated INSTANCE_HOME setups.
Improvements to Windows NT service management (each Zope instance can now be controlled via the NT service manager).
Configuration-file-driven options setting (death to environment variables!)
New logging code based on the Python "PEP 282" logger.
Real "effective user" support (starting as root no longer writes critical system files as root).
A zope controller program named "zctl" which provides a uniform way to start, stop, and debug Zope instances.
The beginnings of a Zope RPM builder.
TODO: clean up configuration code and merge into Zope trunk.

16. Spotlight: ZopeLabs; or First Zope, Then the World!

ZopeLabs, that indispensable repository of snuggly Zope code snippets and HowTo's recently logged its 300th recipe! With this in mind, we here at Zope "Weekly" News decided an interview with ZopeLabs Founder M. Adam Kendall was in order...

ZWN: Hi Adam, I actually don't know much about you, so maybe you could say something about yourself and how you got involved in Zope?

MAK: Well.. I first got started with Zope because of a co-worker who suggested I look at Zope when I was doing some stuff for my local LUG. We were building a site to help ease our troubles with putting on installfests. So I built a Zope application to allow folks to signup with stats on their hardware, and then allowed installers to signup as well. Then the application would allow an admin to assign installers to those folks that wanted an installation done for specific timeslots, and allowed the installers to email their installees, etc.. Pretty slick, but was done in ALL DTML, as I had no python experience.

From there I learned python, got more involved with Zope development at work, started hanging out on IRC on #zope on openprojects, started going to the python conferences, helping on the mailing lists, and haven't looked back ;)

I started Zopelabs because there wasn't really a place to allow people to post/use cut-n-paste code like there are with other programming communities, like php and asp. The goal was to make it somewhat easier for those coming from those alternatives to pick up Zope. I also wanted to give back to the Zope community something that would be worthwhile as I had gotten so much out of Zope in both personal and work projects. I had quite a bit of input and help from Alan Runyan (runyaga) when I first put Zopelabs together, and I don't think the site would have turned out as well as it did without him. I also relied on the knowledge of Andrew Milton (TheJester) quite a few times while building up Zopelabs (Zopelabs was the original beta test site for exUserFolder).

For some background on Zopelabs: It's a complete custom application that I wrote to handle the posting of recipes and comments. I had looked at using CMF, but it just wasn't developed enough at the time to fit my needs. I've been considering moving Zopelabs to CMF now that it's more mature, and have started porting my code over to their corresponding portal_types, but I'm not sure I'll ever get it completed as I still don't have the need for CMF. If it isn't broke... ;)

Anything else you want to know, fire away.

ZWN: What's your favorite ZopeLabs recipe? What recipe has been most requested? What recipe(s) would you say are most needed right now?

MAK: My favorite probably has to be the ComputedAttribute one, as I use it quite a bit in my own products: http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1004184802

The most requested recipe has been by far, creating breadcrumbs: http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/990688377

I'd say as for what's needed: more (or any actually) recipes about migrating from asp/php to Zope. IE: You do in php, it's simply in DTML or in ZPT. The usefulness of the smaller recipes like the above is really incredible for new people coming to Zope from other technologies.

ZWN: What are your goals for ZopeLabs and where do you see it and the Zope Community in general in the new year (2003)?

MAK: Wow. tough questions. As anyone who runs a website will say, I think the ultimate goal is to stay around and rule the world. ;-) Ultimately, my goal is to make sure that Zopelabs continues to be useful to the community no matter which direction Zope goes.

I'd hope that in 2003 Zope (as a company and community) can finally work toward resolving the lack of organization that seems to be rampant within the community. It's been a long time complaint of the community that there are no docs. Well, now we have books to fall back on, but the very site that should be promoting these resources (zope.org) is so disorganized that it's still hard for newcomers to find the information that will best serve them. I am hoping that Zopelabs helps a bit in this regard, allowing users to find information quickly so they can get work done and will continue to do this moving forward with new technologies like Zope3.

17. Zope Community Working Hard

The Zope Community has been hard at work these past months, there is much going on, and keeping track of five months of work is really hard, so I may be forgetting something really important, but here are some links that caught my attention, in no particular order:

For open source developers who are always looking for something to say when somebody wants them to use a Java solution instead of Zope, Ariel Partners LLC has published a paper comparing Zope and Cocoon. They also have one which compares Python and Java.

Kapil Thangavelu posted a guide to team development in Zope, sharing with us his ideas on how to organize a Zope team while keeping an eye on source management. He followed this great work with another article, now focusing on versioning content.

An interesting list of European governmental sites is displayed on this posting from the EuroZope web site.

Richard Jones published a fairly useful document about optimizing Zope.

Infrae released version 0.8.5 of Silva, a web-based application for the creation of structured documents for web or paper publishing. Infrae has also published some useful documentation on how they set up their own Apache, ZEO and Squid installation.

The External editor product, by Casey Duncan, continues to take the Zope world by storm. If you hate editing text in a browser window you have to take a look at this, no matter if you work on Unix or Windows.

XML transform is a product by Ariel Partners that enables Zope users to associate an XSLT transformer with an XML document that automatically renders the result of the transformation when called.

Nuxeo released Nuxeo CPS, an open source collaborative content management system implemented on top of Zope.

The Localizer product has reached version 0.9.2. This is a very important product for developers who want to create multilingual web applications.

TextIndexNG, a pluggable index for the ZCatalog, is the most complete full text indexing solution for Zope's cataloguing tool. It is now on version 1.06.

Pound is a load balancer and reverse proxy specifically built for Zope and ZEO.

NeoBoard, a next generation threaded message board product for Zope, has reached version 1.1a.

Many people have wondered if ZServer will ever support SSL. Given that many users, including Zope Corporation itself, are happy enough using Squid or Apache in front of Zope, it is certainly not very likely that ZC will make this happen. All is not lost, however, Hajime Nakagami has posted version 0.3 of zSSL, a SSL server integrated with ZServer.
