| Great. Unfortunally gogo and me started to merge Kapils and your branch
| together, and it works almost:

That's not an issue, it can be split later.

| Some notes about Marshall at all:
| 
| * tests should work w/o dependency to ArchExample

Agreed.

| * Pluggable Namespaces are a great must have feature. Why a separate
| Product? It doesnt make any sense to me.

Because Marshall's real goal is *making marshallers
configurable*. Having extra marshallers inside it complicate the
matters a lot because it will require extra releases when a bug is
fixed in some marshaller.

| * I dont see any reason why we shouldnt ship Marshall with ATXML.

I see lots! What I want is a 'MarshallPack' product with the
marshallers from AT + ATXML marshaller.

| * I would like to see Marshall under a BSD-Like License, like the
| Archetypes one or ZPL: The Archetypes bundle should (not must, but anyway)
| have a consistent Licenses.

Sure you can have that.

| * As Archetypes Release Manager I would like to have access to the
| plone.org/products/marshall

Fine.

| * all Marshalling related code inside Archetypes must move over into
| Marshall. One step in direction of a smaller Product "Archetypes" and it
| will be easier in future to componentize Marshall and Archetypes at all.
| BBB code with deprecation warnings in place of old Marshall.py.

Make that MarshallPack then.

| -> All this work at Archetypes 1.4-branch in sync with trunk.

And backwards compatible with Archetypes 1.3-branch.

| Thx for Marshall and have a nice day!

Thanks.
