(Should perhaps be known as the Zope 2 Book now - for Zope 3 books, see http://wiki.zope.org/zope3)
The first and biggest of the Zope 2 books, essential reading for all zope users and developers. It is maintained in commentable form at plope.com, and is perpetually in need of volunteers to keep it up to date. Other formats are linked below. (The official zope book starting point, slightly less detailed than this one, is here).
- Zope book, 2.7 edition
- the current Zope Book - for Zope 2.7 and up. Not often updated, but still the best place to learn Zope 2.
- Zope book, 2.6 edition
- PDF - HTML, traducción al español - HTML, debian package
- Zope book, 2.5 edition
- HTML, German translation
- https://launchpad.net/zope2book

page (or pages) for corrections --FlorianKonnertz, Wed, 14 Apr 2004 06:49:56 -0700 reply
Should there be a page (or pages) for corrections, comments etc. to the book? I suggest to mention that here.

This would section would be a good candidate for simon's blog work which displays comments from multiple pages
zope book on wiki --simon, Fri, 23 Apr 2004 13:05:21 -0700 reply
I have been chit-chatting with Chris about this, the maintenance procedure, etc. See also the recent zope-dev thread. The book will be maintained in backtalk for the time being. Obviously we are keen to minimize maintenance effort and avoid duplication and confusion.
I am inclined to remove the mirrored 2.5 edition, for a start, being out of date. Chris has made the latest book source available to me, and it is probably worth mirroring that at some point, for convenience/findability/fiendish wiki experiments. But this doesn't feel super-urgent to me right at this moment. Your thoughts ?

Here's my $.02. I'm +1 for a copy of the book to be mirrored here. But I'm -0 on presenting this as a resource which allows edits and comments that diverge from the BackTalk copy unless somebody signs up to try to feed the improvements back into the BackTalk version. I can't do it and keep my sanity, but if someone else could volunteer to do it, my -0 would change to a +1.
BTW, Simon, I dunno if you got my last IRC message, but you can now successfully snarf the images from the 2.7 edition on plope.com over DAV.

Right then I'll do a mirror of the 2.7 stuff (still getting permission errors copying images btw..). If we start to get any useful edits I or someone will make sure to feed them to you. This was the case before, but we didn't get any edits so I didn't have to think too hard about this. We might get more input on this site though. To keep things simple I think I'll make these pages comments only for now.
feedback to date --simon, Sun, 25 Apr 2004 00:39:08 -0700 reply
In fact there have been three comments on the mirror, one of them substantial:
Here ,
here
and here[ZB Appendix A: DTML Reference]?#msg20040405053555-0700@zopewiki.org .
Since we don't have these pages sending mail yet I'm not sure if you'll see this. If I don't hear I'll forward these before deleting the 2.5 mirror.

Re-reading I guess you mean not just feed changes to you, but put them into the master backtalk version. Well we'll either do this or I'll make these pages read-only.
right... -- Sun, 25 Apr 2004 16:02:54 -0700 reply
Right, please don't send the changes to me in email.. I'll never be able to keep up with that. ;-) Thanks!
oh, also... -- Sun, 25 Apr 2004 16:04:23 -0700 reply
The 2.5 edition is very old, so it's possible (and even likely) that the comments people have made to the book pages here might not be salient anymore.
done --simon, Tue, 27 Apr 2004 13:45:55 -0700 reply
Updated to 2.7. Read-only for now. This includes the backtalk comments. I'd move these to a margin beside the main text if I could.

I have replaced the mirrored Zope Book content with links, shortened the page names and cleaned up.

Error on page 62 of the Zope 2.6 book, pdf format -- Thu, 09 Jun 2005 17:56:50 -0700 reply
Apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong place, I've only just started learning about zope and getting used to navigating the documents, not sure if I'm doing the right thing posting this here.
The following two environment variables as stated in the Zope Book 2.6, on page 62 seem to be reversed, I say seem because I'm new to all this so can't qualify my statement however from the wording it seems so :
SUPPRESS_ACCESSRULE If set, all SiteRoot behaviors are suppressed.
SUPPRESS_SITEROOT If set, all access rules behaviors are suppressed.
you are right - should be read reversed --d2m, Fri, 10 Jun 2005 01:07:10 -0700 reply
please conside the fact, that the z2.6-book pdf version is 2 years old at least. if you work with a current Zope (Zope2.7+) check the documentation at http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/ as quite a few things have changed in configuring zope.
