You are preaching to the choir ...

I thought my posting was pretty clear on this. I said that I'm willing 
to maintain such a list (even though I might not do it TODAY).

I am aware of the problem that to get a missing feature done some money 
or time has to be spent by someone. I really hope that Zope X3 has 
finally reached a state where people start working with it in real-life 
projects with real money involved. Otherwise it might take another 2-3 
years for Zope 3 to be on par with Zope 2 in terms of features (I had, 
naive as I am, thought that X3 would come with equivalents of all the 
stuff that comes in a default Zope 2 install). ;-)

So, no I am not complaining, and I am willing to help.

Cheers
