[Zope-dev] Zope 3 without ZODB

[David Pratt]

Hi Chris. I was scanning the lists looking for posts similar to this. 
Were you successful in getting something like this to work? Anyone else 
document anything like this?

I wrote a different main.py at some point about a year or so ago so both 
twisted clients and servers to could be started up using schemas for 
zconfig but am looking at possibilities without and with other non ZODB 
backends. I see Philip provided some clues for a mixin that could be 
used to glue the publisher's traversal mechanism together with an 
alternative storage.  Many thanks.

Regards,
David
