[Zope3-dev] tracking satellite project's trunks

[David Pratt]

Hi Fred. I like this very much too :-) If you want your product to sing, 
you can include sing packages, if you want it to dance, you can include 
dance packages. What's more, is that most python projects are moving to 
egg distribution, if not there already. Besides eggs, wsgi is allowing 
many more things to occur on an app level overall. Overall, these 
developments create some very interesting and exciting potential to mix 
and match functionality without the constraints of a particular framework.

Regards,
David
