new date for a mini-sprint in Rome

Dear all,

because almost nobody seemed to be able to take part in a mini-sprint 
in the second half of February, I would now suggest the first week of 
March: We could start between Friday, Febr. 27 - Monday, Mar 1. It 
should not last longer than a week.

The target is to extend the ticle version that will be the result of 
the Snow-Sprint in order to create the framework for web databases we 
call ZUCCARO: The idea is to have a set of XML schemas describing 
classes of objects and their typed relationsships in the form of 
Ticle's Link Objects (therefore, using Ticle as managing tool for those 
links). These XML schemas then can be adopted to the special needs of 
different projects - maybe with graphical tools - and parsed with 
ArchGenXML to create the whole database structure on the basis of a 
common Zope/Plone installation.

We think that ZUCCARO would be useful for a lot of projects, mainly but 
not only in the historical and social sciences because it offers all 
the advantages of Zope and Plone and an easy-to-use possibility of 
customisation for the needs of special project: for instance, databases 
on Architecture, old Books, Persons, drawings, manuscripts etc.

Greetings from the Eternal City

Bernd
