1) for the record, <a href="http://lapaye.fr">lapaye.fr</a> is a (profitable) software editor that has been building business applications on the top of Zope 2 for 5 years (payroll software, not plone or whatever). We don't intend to switch to another platform in the foreseeable future [we're zope2.9 right now]. Python programmers aren't in short supply, and Zope can be taught to a Python programmer in a few weeks if we need to do that by ourselves. If Zope 2 doesn't change much, that's perfectly fine with me (except that I want my refresh back).<br>
<br>2) We never went to Zope 3 because nobody was able to demonstrate a convincing advantage over zope 2<br><br>3) Chris, I'm not sure about your point. Nobody starts a new application in COBOL nowadays, but it's one of the most solid area you can go for money, and I'm pretty sure it'll be the same 25 years from now.<br>

</div>Yes, and there are many people in similar situations, but they're not<br>
new users coming to "Zope 2" ;-)<br>
