Hello everybody.  I'd like to do a survey of the people on signed up so
far and find out what areas of experience we have covered.  Please only
respond to the survey if you intend to participate in some of the
development for this project.

Two other things.  First, I'd like to leverage the phrase used by the
Linux Planet guy and call this the new "Zope Studio".  Saying
"management environment" gets old.

Next, I'd like to set a target to have the demo for the Zope Track next
month dovetail with two other goals.  The first is the portal toolkit,
which is coming along nicely.  Thus, I'd like the Zope Studio
proof-of-concept to also reinforce ideas in the portal toolkit.  The
second is, unfortunately, something I can't talk about yet. :^)

On to the survey.  On a scale of 1 to 5, with one being "I'm really good
at it", please judge yourself on the following if you intend to
participate in the Zope Studio.

1) HTML 4

2) Web graphics.

3) JavaScript.

4) CSS.

5) XML.

6) RDF.

7) DOM.

8) COM programming (meaning you'll be familiar with XPCOM).

Thanks!

BTW, looks like two days until the first "alpha" (M12).  I read a post
by Jim Roskind (that man seems to have worked for every valley company)
where he said the usability has gone way up since they closed the tree
last week and started killing bugs.  This is going to be there "dogfood"
release (meaning the developers use it over 50% of the time).
