Overview over ways to create views in Zope, and some opinions on their future.

Sanetizing Plone Views

(Pun intended)

There are too many ways of createing views in Plone. This needs fixing. It's a job that is too much for any one person, so we need a plan. This is an attempt to look at the situation and asses things so that we can make a plan, which can then be made into a PLIP and worked on.

Dogmas on code editors and IDEs

Dogmas on code editors and IDEs

In the editor wars between Emacs and Vim I have always disliked both strongly. Although the first real editor I used was Emacs, and I usually use Vim when in a terminal, I despise both as outdated, hard to use relics of the 1970's. They require an enormous effort to learn to use, and they work completely differently from any modern user interface.

This document explains my dogmas about how an editor should work.
