Today I've also started to test the grooveInterop 0.5 suite of Tim Knip. 1:38:54 PM

Meanwhile some serious open-source competitors to Frontier are popping up all around. Especially http://www.plone.org and http://www.infrae.com with their productsPlone and Silva. Both products are Zope based and therefor have two main advantages. They are open-sourced and they are written in a mainstream scripting language - python, which is so much broader accepted and adopted than usertalk. Usertalk will for sure stay a very proprietary language for ever. This is not going to change, definitely. What a pitty. 12:21:26 PM

During the last 3 weeks I lost an enormous amount of posted data. I don't know why , but after beeing really pissed off concerning userland I've decided to go ahead and solve the problem by myself. I will still use Radio Userland but from now on just as an add-on to zope. I've spent hours to get more fluent with python and zope and several weeks later I admit that I wish that python would replace usertalk inside frontier as the implementation language of choice. 12:01:19 PM
