Another maintenance release of Roundup, my issue tracking software, is out. Phew. I've got a backlog of feature requests - and thankfully I've also got users who are willing to contribute code for them.

Zope3, the beginning

Yesterday was a big Zope3 day for me.

The day started with Jan, Stuart and myself visiting the proposed venue of the local Zope3 sprint, Trinity College at Melbourne University. Their facilities are great - any one of their labs could serve as a sprint location for us. Because it's Trinity though, they also have a really nice specialist lab that we'd like to use (it has a touch-sensitive wall-projection screen that would be awesome for demos) and accomodation and a dining hall...
We had an IRC conference in the evening in which we ozzopers talked about the Zope UI and how we could contribute. I said I'd like to try to help with some edge stuff that doesn't require intimate knowledge of Zope3's internals, since I'd only just started getting up to speed yesterday. This was fine, and I'm going to be looking into some javascript widget code.
It was the first time I've downloaded and run the source. I also ended up checking out the source from the CVS and even started looking into hacking a few changes in. I ran into a bug though and spent my time chasing that down.
