Yesterday was the first day of the Zope 3 Sprint at PyCon 2004. While not officially started, Stephan Richter and I worked on several TODO tasks for Zope X3.0. In particular, we wrapped up:

• 303 redirects for HTTP/1.1 clients
• stripped defaultView down to it’s minimal, correct form
• implemented permission redefinition ZCML enhancements
• began work on the browser:tool directive, which we hope to finish today

Altogether it was an amazing day. At last years sprint I felt like I learned an amazing amount about Zope 3, but was able to contribute in a very limited way. This year it seems like I was able to get up and running a little quicker, and that combined with the longer sprint schedule means I’ll be able to contribute in a more concrete fashion.

Today Jim is going to present a tutorial on developing Zope 3 for all the newcomers while Stephan and I wrap up work on the browser:tool proposal.
