Here is a smattering of feature requests:

1) Have an install that automatically installs a default webserver that
will run as a background process
2) have a feature rich install that has all the messaging, ftp, etc.
packages pre-installed so users can just run it
3) an easier way to install new packages - like just clicking "install"
4) Port Zope to mac!!
5) Improve the admin interface with useful functions like "export site
to HTML"
6) implement XML-RPC between two zope servers
7) implement a mailing list from within Zope

8) Product requests:
    a)web-board
    b)mailing list
    c)workflow
    d)project management

9) Create a "serialized" XML export/import format so that for example I
could email a zope site to a friend as a single file and have them
"import" it. Sans images of course.

Questions
1) When will the next version of Zope be released?
2) Could Zope use javascript sometime in the future? the JS reference
implementation is open source as well, it could be incorporated...
