Yes! I'd love to hear ideas. If you'd like, please insult it and
suggest improvements right here on the list in front of everyone, :-)
so that as many ideas and perspectives as possible can be offered.
Start a new thread with "Trails" in the name, though. :-)

I think megrok.trails is great, my thoughts on a way of expanding it
are along the lines of the following.<br>
<br>
<pre>class MyTrails(megrok.trails.TrailHead):
grok.context(MyApp)
grok.name('mytrails') #default from class name
# the trails attribute is left blank
class News(grok.View):
grok.context(megrok.trails.TrailStop)
grok.name('mytrails::/news') #signifys MyTrails as trail head and /news as child url
class Archive(grok.View):
grok.context(megrok.trails.TrailStop)
grok.name('mytrails::/news/archive') # another page
class Archives(grok.View):
grok.context(megrok.trails.TrailStop)
grok.name('mytrails::/news/archive/++subpath++') # stuffs remaining url parts
# as signifyed by ++subpath++ into self.subpath Zope2 style
def year(self):
return self.subpath[-1]
def month(self):
return self.subpath[-2]
</pre>
In my own code, I use grok.context(Traversable) instead of TrailStop,
but I want to retain the metaphor here. There's lots of room for
improvement, but I think you can get the drift. <br>
<br>
It's pretty concise and easy to use. I've been using something similar
successfully for over a year.<br>
