So should those of us who like the current system pretend we didn't see your plans to convert to Zope? (That's pretty much what I've been doing.) To be more detailed (in response to your two points above): * I don't think we want a low barrier to entry. We want documentation to be written by people who know what they're talking about, namely, the developers. The developers know how to use CVS, so it's one fewer thing to learn. * What kind of discussion do you want? How would it be useful? We need a repository for reliable information that's more authoritative than newsgroup responses. If the website replaces the newsgroups, then we'll need something to replace the website. Is what we really need good archival of the newsgroups on the web, and a good search index? -David -- L. David Baron <URL: http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~dbaron/ >
