Very cool.

Yes, they should go into Packages3 in CVS. There is a convention for Zope 3=
=20
that additional Zope Products should be in a directory called=20
Zope3/lib/python/ZopeProducts; most poeple link their product into this=20
directory then.

However, here is another thought. We want to ship Zope 3 with one RDB as=20
default as Zope 2 does, and naturally that is Gadfly. Therefore I would not=
=20
mind, if you put the Gadfly code into=20
/Zope3/lib/python/Zope/App/RDB/GadflyDA.

Thanks for your efforts.
