Mind if I check in text-only changes to the 2_8 branch?
I'm playing with a checkout of the Zope-2_8-branch right now,
and while I was looking at doc/*txt to see what if anything is
said about migrating to 2.8, I noticed some really trivial typos
which I'd gladly check in (and merge to the trunk too).

5710 unit tests... holy cow.

Done. Like I said, just trivial docs typos.

While I'm at it, anybody object to the attached patch to
doc/FAQ.txt ?

Holy crap, FAQ.txt is reeeeally crufty.
It's loaded with pcgi information and other useless crap.
Gimme a minute to come up with a better patch.
I should make a branch for this.

I vote you check in changes instead, until you run out of time. Every
improvement will lessen confusion for countless multitudes until the
end of time. Perfection is overrated <0.9 wink>.

Thanks for doing it, BTW! Some things get so out of date that
paralysis is the natural reaction -- but a chain of small improvements
can turn that around.

Yeah, but improvements are improvements!

I don't see a need to include the disclaimer about Python 2.4; I test
on 2.4, and use Zope 3 trunk with 2.4.1 all the time.

OK, done on 2_8-branch and merged to trunk.

Yeah, e.g. even if we never get our butts in gear to "release" it,
Chris's 2.7 version of the Zope Book is still vastly better than
the 2.6 version (which was vastly better than 2.5, etc.)

Agreed. If I had nothing else to do I would poke around in that directory
some more. I think WEBSERVERS.txt could use some attention, and
probably others too.

Sadly there's other things in doc/ that could use the attention,
and I have to get back to Real Work now.

Maybe you do, but it really is a FAQ, and that's the consensus response
from the chorus every time it comes up on the main zope list, so I feel
justified :-)

It's the right answer, too. No "security audit" has been done against
Python 2.4 for Zope use yet, and Zope Corp won't officially bless 2.4
for use with Zope until that's been done.

Note that the story is different for ZODB: Python 2.4+ is officially
blessed for "standalone" ZODB use. This is one advantage of keeping
DTML out of the storage layer <wink>.
