python-mode package includes a doctest mode that rocks :

Sweeeeeeeet........

The EP sprint is going on in here in Göteborg. I'm working on the workflow component.

Today, I updated the document I wrote 2 days ago about the architecture overview. You can find it there :
http://www.z3lab.org/sections/front-page/white-papers/xpdlcore-zope-wfmc

This is a draft and this is, of course, not in any way the definitive architecture... The idea in here is to put on a paper the ideas and the workflow related stuffs I've been thinking on for couple of time and based on my previous experience on CPSWorkflow. BTW, Anahide wrote a really nice howto document and product to explain the CPSWorkflow in french and english

If you are interested in workflow and ECM I would be please to get feedbacks on this first draft on the Zope3 / ECM architecture.

I'm currently binding zope.wfmc on xpdlcore as xpdl importer. It will be the first step to have the 3 components working together before going further in the development. I hope I could create a branch in Zope3 tomorrow for the 3.2 version of Zope3. The integration of lxml will be needed before this anyway since xplcore uses lxml for parsing xpdl files.

I'll be presenting CPSWorkflow and ecmworkflow at EP on monday. I'll talk about the new features of CPSWorkflow and my first architecture draft and prototype on ecmworkflow with a discussion about the document centric versus activity based workflow models at the same time.

RIght. Now it's beer time (midsummer fest) in here where the days are really long and the night really bright at this time :)

Great news : Zope-3.1 went beta during the week-end !

Stephan released it yesterday :
http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope3/3.1.0b1/Zope310b1Released

Notice that the 'X' has been droped. Check the annoucement it's explained within. Basically, we think Zope3 is now more than ready for production use and the compatibility issues with Zope2 will continue to be investigated through the Five component (which is now shipped with Zope-2.8 since the Paris sprint 2005)

I'm pretty happy about it and looking forward to the 3.1 final on my side cause :

1. lxml support on Zope-3.2 arriving.
   
2. inclusion of xplcore and an integration with zope.wfmc.
   

This is part of my work in the scope of the Zope3 / ECM workflow project (ecmworkflow)

I will be annoucing the EP workflow sprint topics that will include basically :

1. Work on xpdlcore : continue the prototype and integrate it with zope.wfmc.
2. Architecture review and coding on ecmworkflow

Zope3 time has come ! :)
