WeekEnding22June2000

This week in the PTK Community

• Shane Hathaway checked in the first set of changes toward the RefactoringPTK proposal we floated last week.

• Unfortunately, the DemoPortal.zexp export file wasn't updated, so it can't be imported at the moment. This will be fixed Real Soon Now (TM). This problem is noted in the tracker:

  • http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK/Tracker/98

  • http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK/Tracker/99

• Alexander Schoenfield released a first look at a wxPython-based class browser for Python/Zope.

• Kevin Dangoor released version 0.6.0 of his Membership package which eases the installation of a LoginManager-based user folder. He is looking for feedback on the exact layout of the Member object, working to gel its API, and therefor ease forward compatibility problems.

• Phillip Eby released version 0.4.0 alpha1 of ZPatterns, which includes the long-awaited DataSkins feature, along with GenericTriggers? and other fun stuff. Ty Sarna will release a new version of LoginManager compatible with ZPatterns 0.4.0 shortly.

Looking Ahead

• Fix the DemoPortal import problem ASAP.

• Re-integrate Kevin Dangoor's Membership product.

• Discuss integrating ZPatterns more closely into PortalContent.
