Packaging notes

Here are some collected notes on packaging ideas. Soon, I need to turn these into more formalized documents.

• Components can be created either via Python modules or via PlacefulComponents.
• Components can be registered globally/placelessly using ZCML or locally placefully using PlacefulServices.

  Remember

  Component creation and management are independent of configuration!

• A service can override or remove a less local (or global) configuration.
• We'll need tools for analyzing configuration including:
  • Browsing what's configured
  • Browsing what's been overridden
  • Easily seeing what the effect of an installation will be and modifying the effect before installation.
