[Grok-dev] Re: Possible sprint topics

[Martijn Faassen]

Hey,

Thanks for starting this thread. I'll add my comments. I have some more 
ideas which I'll do in a separate reply.

Yes, this would be a good feature to have, also for the case where we
split up Grok into multiple pieces (which Philipp started recently). 
Note that this would mean you'd need either a lot of ZCML to declare the 
security for your classes, or we would also need to make the 
@grok.require decorator work properly for model methods.

Right, I want to get this one finally over with. You'd *think* it would 
be just merging someone's branch, but it just appears it keeps shifting 
out from under us...

Hopefully this is now almost finished.

Uli is there and he started this work. This would be a good small task a 
pair could tackle in one day.

As you know I don't really consider this to be a high priority task, as 
nothing Zope currently uses this information even if you supply it.

Very important! I hope we can get some reference documentation published 
online, in part based on the admin UI.
