Re: development issues

Hi Medur,

I put your question on the list, since they are of interest to all the  
developers.

While we wait for Jagrata's answers, I would like to ask a few  
questions myself to you, to clarify what you need to know:

http://www.vasuedvaservice.com is not a stage site. It is a production,  
live site, and it should not be used only for publishing content  
related to VSA.

Until the code has assumed a mature form, it should be tested on the  
local machine.

What do you mean? Are you asking about the physical path of the two  
folders?

> 3. Are we only developing Plone products or do we build stuff for the  
> zmi as well?

We are trying to abstracts ourselves from the zmi as much as possible.  
All our products should exploit all the benefits that Plone gives us  
(the Plone framework), so, yes, our products will be only Plone  
products (versus zope or zope+CMF products).

> 4. Is the zopedhyani now off limits as well?

All developmente should be done in local. Zopedhyani has been  
deprecated. In a while we'll put it back shortly, just to let people  
check if they need anything from it, before full retirement.

Same thing for zoped, zopealpha, zopebhuvah, and zopedev.

It is the other way around. From your local development you commit to  
svn, and from there the release manager (Jagrata) will built a  proper  
stage area.

Medur, let us know the answers to those few questions, so that Jagrata  
can be more helpful.
