Zope, Web Services, why BCI was cool and why I sigh at noon.
New story here regarding Zope, XML-RPC, Web Services, and the cool stuff Zope/Bobo was doing oh so long ago, and my frustration that it's still not plugged into the Web Services world as it should be. Part of this is the fault of protocols like XML-RPC, which doesn't take into account things like Authentication, which is so critical and deep to how Zope works that it's harder to match the two up than it should be. Part of it is due to the hodge-podge development that's gone on over the years (which is finally being addressed in Zope 3), especially in regards to the protocal-handling pieces.
