Re: Convert a family of scripts to a Zope/Plone Product

Hi, Priyadarshan (and maybe Hi, Jagrata):

I would love to do this! But one word of caution: Products can be very, very
different in nature and hence in structure. There will not really be one
all-encompassing How-To like "How to wrap your
somehow-already-more-or-less-working-code-into-a-product". On the other
hand, we have to start somewhere. A nice start might be - as you suggest -
to write a How-To on Mallikarjun's-SiteStats-Into-A-Product. Tell me (or
Jagrata, tell me) when and if to start!

Greetings
Dhyani
