Things happen when you change systems - a few days ago i moved to a new notebook with Ubuntu 9.10 and found myself with a system Python 2.6. I was curious about how to make Grok run on it without patching a number of eggs as i did

When using Zope, you don't want to have bare " except: " clauses lying around [1] and when using
xmlrpclib in Zope, you will have to guard against whatever connection trouble there may be.
Problem is, xmlrpclib seems to sometimes report errors by rai...

The Grok development team is very happy to release
Grok 1.1a1!
This is a preview of the 1.1 release that will be
based on the Zope ToolKit (ZTK). The ZTK will bring
a significant number of newer versions of the
libraries that Grok

is built on.
The ZTK will not only make available newer features
and bugfixes in toolkit libraries, but also a less
complex dependency structure of these libraries
encouraging more reuse. [Less]

In theory the browser could sometimes render faster by grabbing items in parallel
Mobile caches may be messed up (as larger than a cache size, like say iPhone’s 256k)
What if the zip gets out of date with the other resources?
Ideally tools (and in fact even web server modules) would auto generate this stuff
