State of the PTK, 2000/10/17

• Michael Bernstein ([email protected]) has made significant progress in his quest to re-integrate the Membership product with the PTK, especially in the area of listing members:

  • http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-ptk/2000-September/001758.html
• Bill Anderson announced that he was very selfishly taking time off from responding to list traffic, including messages about his Membership product, in order to get married! :) Congratulations and best wishes from the PTK community abound!
• Tres Seaver released version 0.9.0 of the PTK. "...and there was much rejoicing".
• Tres then had to pull one of the tarballs of the release because the "distribution tab" products for Wizard and DemoPortal depend on a stock ZClass? (Products.OFSP._ZClass_for_DTMLMethod) which is not created at import time, but at product initialization time.

  Tres has submitted a patch for this problem to the Zope Collector, but in the meanwhile, the distribution tab versions are not useful.

• Bjorn Stabell posted an "insightful summary": http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-ptk/2000-October/001801.html of the issues involved in distributing part of the PTK as "through-the-web" software (i.e., DemoPortal).
• Phillip Eby ([email protected]) announced new ZPatterns documentation including explanations of triggers and rules and a completed SkinScript? reference.
