Tarek Ziadé reports on PloneSoftwareCenter progress during the Paris Sprint. I am amazed to see the progress he and the folks helping him had so far. This is definitely all that I dreamed for when I started with the idea in January 2006. It is great to see that even though ideas take a little [...]


Guido van Rossum invites Python developers to try out his Code Review app, inspired by Mondrian but supporting Subversion instead of Perforce.


Found out about the cool comics site Comiqs this morning. It’s very cool, and has features similar to those of Comic Life, which comes pre-installed with new Macs. The nice thing about Comiqs, is that it’s online and free. Comiqs allows you to create a comic strip, and integrates with Flickr, so you can use [...]

I was able to build a static binary in the past, but I have to hunt down my notes about what changes to build a static binary. It is great that someone else was [...]

As part of my research, I’ve interviewed some key people running successful virtual teams, and some of them are known to readers of [...]


Ok, I’m fed up. Here’s the first of a series of Pearls from the Plone Source. Call it The Plone WTF if you like. Here goes, a loop that does nothing. Notice the ‘locking_info’ adapter is fetched outside the for loop: for action in workflowActions:    if action['category'] != ‘workflow’:        continue locking_info = queryMultiAdapter((context, request), name=’plone_lock_info’) [...]


On his Strategy Letter VI article, Joel writes about something that many people are starting to realize: that the current Web 2.0 is not much better than Smart (or even Dumb!) Terminal days, when you had to care about memory constraints and there were no standards for interop between applications, or even UI guidelines. Then [...]


Just read Martin Aspeli’s  post about his experiences using Pylons. Some people that have been around me and Alan might remember that we’ve been saying for quite some time that we need something Routes-like in ZopeLand, and also faster restarts or even hot reload. At PyConBrasil last week there was some buzz going on about [...]
