[CPS-devel] Future of CPSSchema's

[Santi Camps]

Hi all,

I was studing CPSSchema's for some days, and I'm really excited with
it.   It's really a impressive work.   Congratulations.

I'm planning to develop the next generation of our product, KMKey,
using CPS and CPSSchema's.   But before that, I want be sure of the
future of CPSSchema's.   I can see that in last products like
CPSSharedCalendar you are already using the Zope 3 way, using
interfaces and Z3 autogenerated add and edit forms, widgets, etc.
That way has an inconvenience for me:  a lot of flexibility is lost.
It's not so easy add a field to a type in one site, and leave the
others sites without this specific field, for instance.

Is there any defined plans about the merge between CPSSchema's and
Zope 3 ?  Will be the flexible types, schema's and layout's remain
available until Zope 3 local utilities can replace them ?  Are you
planning to maintain CPSSchema's interface and reimplement it using Z3
code, or simply abandon CPSSchema's and begin to use Z3 way ?

I'm really interested about this issues.   If we take that way, we
will need to contribute CPSSchema's with some code early (if you want,
of course, if not that code will be a new product).

Thanks in advance
