thank you. I'd be happy to help with this, but at now I still don't 
know exactly what zdaemon is and what's the difference between paster 
serve deploy.ini and FOO-ctl.

Also, as you can see from the frequence I post here with, I can't 
give so much time to this project.

When I finish (IF I finish) this thing, I'd like to investigate the 
incompatibilities introduced by SQLAlchemy 0.4 and try to fix 
Zalchemy. I'll have to investigate about what a transaction is (I 
still don't know). I saw the publish method but I didn't dig deep 
enough to see what a transaction is.

I'll keep in touch, anyway

Bye
