The situation right now is dismal
-
private fork of the code if they want to make any modifications
-
getting a stable, maintained release of this 0.3 incarnation out the door
-
right now the bottleneck is on the maintenance side
-
it would be really nice to see deliverance moving to some dcvs
-
Deliverance tries to solve a problem that very few people have: styling an existing site without having to touch it
-
Plone where you would need hundreds of hours of work of skilled people to do a full styling
-
if you use Deliverance you still need to theme your Plone site
-
a lot of interest in Deliverance
-
XDV, since that is easier to deploy in non-Python environments
-
Deliverance + a proxy is obviously possible
-
legacy systems
-
"shrink-wrapped" solutions that they can't style
-
All my Plone projects these days use Deliverance or XDV
-
turn off most Plone stylesheets
-
custom stylesheet to augment the designer's styles
-
include the Plone authoring stylesheets more or less intact
-
new to Plone
-
teaching theming
-
new to Plone theming
-
comprehension and productivity
-
With Deliverance/XDV, I can get people who understand HTML + CSS to be productive with Plone
-
a *huge* win
-
hard to set it all up
-
soluble
-
stable 0.3 release out is of utmost importance
-
revisit the option of moving it to a different repository later
-
it only takes a very little bit of stop energy to get someone to go away
-
I hereby bestow upon Ethan the title of Maintainer
-
release now, and figure out code location etc later
-
DVCS's genuinely useful for including people in a development process
-
get git working with the major IDEs
-
I'd be looking at fewer man pages with hg than with git
