Standard archetypes behaviour. Which is what archgenxml was originally 
aimed at. So nothing wrong with that.

But: it is **not** the standard for zope3 code. The hacked-up archgenxml 
version I'm using for parts of genesis is at least generating lowercase 
filenames, but it is too much effort to get it all into one file.

I'll be happy when genesis is finished enough to generate good clean 
python module files instead of the current separate ones!

Gaphor sounds real good, but I'm having problems getting it to run on 
OSX. You need gnome libs, dia libs, more gnome libs, more addition libs, 
more gnome libs...

I've got an invitation from one of the gaphor guys to look him up once 
and talk about genesis integration, btw.

Thanks!

Skeletor sounded like an example best-practice product structure. I'm 
all in favor of using it as the basis for the genesis templates. There 
was also a zope3 example project somewhere being planned: also great as 
a basis. Let's make sure the code genesis generates is as good as possible.
