mxm's site on Zope

Your how-tos are pretty good, at least they were much easier to understand than the standard developper documentation for me.

One thing that could be great, is if you rewrote your how-tos to be more dive-into-python like. I mean, that all your explanations are great, but it would be better if one could just copy paste the right code to the right place and see it happen, and only then, read the explanations of how it happened. If you agree, I might even do that, using your ow-tos as a basis.

A dive-into-zope was what I wanted really, and for the moment, your stuff is the closest to it that I could find.

One last thing: I changed the redirect in manage_addMinimal so the minimal package would bring me back to Zope Management Interface. Is there a reason I shouldn't do that?

your how-tos (2) (Posted by mrlex at 2005-02-14)

First, thank you for the How-to's, they were very helpful.

One criticism is that you have a lot of grammar and spelling errors in the articles. They were just small things, but they really became a distraction for me. It would be nice if you could go back, read through them, and fix the typos.

They are very helpful. Thanks!

Very helpful and clear. You could also cross link to here: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-pyzo.html , which says essentially the same thing.

getting it running (Posted by korytina at 2005-09-02)

Your intro is the first one that actually made sense :) But I still can't get it to run. 

I've put the following "products" folder into zope3/lib/python
products/ ..hello_world/ ....hello_world.py # cut and paste of given example ....__init.py # cut/paste of example
then pointed the browser to http://localhost:8080/minimal_id/index_html and still get "The page that you are trying to access is not available"
Forgive me if I missed something totally obvious :), as I am a total newbie, and thought my question might be [usefully] representative.

This is great! As another Zope newbie, I can say that the next thing to struggle with is adding the basic security to this product, so that would definitely be of interest, say in a third part to the series. Once more, thank you and keep up this great effort. I am intrigued by Zope, but have been frustrated by the available books, so there is very much a lack of good accessible documentation on Zope!
