Zope 2 was never a brand. It only existed to have a name for the older application server when Zope 3 existed. It led to confusion and still does. The name must go away. It is now the only application server with the "Zope" name left, and that's a simple, clear and consistent brand. We can help make the Zope 2 name go away by stopping its use on "official" community sites like the new zope.org. jens -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iEYEARECAAYFAk3KJIkACgkQRAx5nvEhZLKBOACffi+SkGRq9/3Ars6S4XzJmRV7 tzUAnii+Et4rAsqUcUHRVO8k3WDne3EE =Shk6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [email protected] https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
