No. I assume you mean "application" in the sense used by the  
zc.zope3recipes package.

Not yet.  I don't have time. :(

Before I do, I'd really like to sort out the server mess.  Before I  
create the next generation of recipe, I'd like to have a single main  
program based either on PasteDeploy, or on zope.paste.

The former, would use some generic PasteDeploy main program and would  
support pretty much any WSGI components.

The later would build on zope.paste, keeping the current basic  
application structure, but cleaning up the internal APIs.

In the mean time, I suggest a minor change to the existing recipe to  
allow a Zope 3 installation to be avoided.  For example, we might  
allow an empty zope3 option to be provided to the application recipe  
to signal that a Zope 3 installation is not used.
