Zope at the Crossroads
tl;dr
After twelve years of active development, spawning multiple web frameworks, libraries, and applications, the Zope development community is at something of a crossroads.

Categorizing Packages: Clarifying Terms
tl;dr
Some of the friction which comes up on the zope-dev list, apparently due to different goals, might in fact be due to some confusion in the terms we use to talk about our goals, and about the shared software we manage toward those goals.

Extracting Zope Eggs: A Parable
Given that the word "Zope" turns out to be a common name in German-speaking countries for a variety of carp (ballerus ballerus) I found the following note [1] strangely appealing, as well as appropriate.

I mused yesterday that I needed to create eggs for the various ZODB-related packages: I was wrong.
