[Zope3-dev] zope.app.wsgi + zope.app.server.main

[Eckart Hertzler]

The reason for using zope.app.main.setup in README was to be able 
to additionally startup a zope ftp server if I wanted.

Surely this should be possible, even if zope is used as a WSGI application ?

I think the ftp server also uses the accesslog
The eventlog should also be enabled, I think.

As far as I can see, in addition to the DatabaseOpened event there is also
the ProcessStarted event, which seems to be used only by zope.app.module.
