[Zope3-dev] Proposal: simplifying implementing (and using) containers

[Jim Fulton]

The proposal at:

   http://dev.zope.org/Zope3/SimplifyImplementingContainers

has some ideas for simplifying the implementation and use of containers.

Some highlights:

- Get rid of add menus and the need to implement adding objects.

- Simplify definition of add menu items.

- Simplify definition of contents views.

- Automatically provide an add button in contents views when only one kind of thing
   can be added.

- When using custom add views, collect the name of the thing to be added along
   with other initial data.

- Provide for automatic selection of names.

Review and comments would be appreciated.

Jim
