Hi Andrew,

Yes, that's probably it, but I've forwarded this to the developer list
for a more authoritative answer.

Regarding Zope -- we're FAR too deep into it at this point, and it is
actually pretty well suited to the complexity of our task.  It would
just be nice if it were a little easier.

Actually, if you're new to Zope 3, start with Grok -
http://grok.zope.org/ - which eliminates a lot of the most insane
aspects of "bare" Zope 3.  We have taken some steps to allow more
Grok-style development in SchoolTool, but haven't really pushed it at
this point.  But it is still a good entry point to the whole
neighborhood.

Subject: Build Test Failure
To: Tom Hoffman <tom.hoffman@xxxxxxxxx>

Tom,

$ make test ftest

I'm assuming that this test failure is just time zone silliness in
Moscow?  Perhaps my system is just different than something standard.
Is a better test in order?

==================================

P.S. - You said something about Zope issues.  Do you have
plans/desires to do something other than Zope?
