[Zope3-dev] Job Board Example

Cool!!!

You don't need the file='configure.zcml' part since that's the default
value. :-)

It seems that JobBoardEx and JobBoardI18n define some conflicting
resources that make it impossible to have both configured.  I would
like to see that fixed.  I currently get this error when I enable both
in products.zcml:

Zope.Configuration.xmlconfig.ZopeConfigurationConflictError: Conflicting configuration actions
for: ('AddableFactory', u'.JobList.')
  at line 11 column 18 of /home/guido/projects/zzz/lib/python/ZopeProducts/JobBoardEx/configure.zcml
  at line 12 column 18 of /home/guido/projects/zzz/lib/python/ZopeProducts/JobBoardI18n/configure.zcml

This seems strange since the full package names are different.  Could
this be a Zope3 bug?  The only conflict seems to be the zmi:factory
directive; once I have created an i18n job board, I can have both
existing in parallel.

Oh, but the Italian sounds sooooo much gentler!

(1) I'd like to have an explicit control over the language (in
    addition to the browser preference).  I'd think this would be
    handy for demos.

(2) How do I start a new translation?  Do I just clone the locale/en
    directory and start hacking on the files, or is there more to it?

(3) I think I've hit a bug in the i18n code.  In the i18n version, try
    to submit a job.  When I click on the preview button, I get a
    traceback saying "TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or
    buffer, NoneType found", at line 104 in SimpleTranslationService
    (in interpolate).
