Back into Development

I've been focusing on my law studies for the last little while, but it is holiday time so now I am back into some serious Zope stuff. I'm developing a few new bits and pieces which should be useful, so I thought I'd write about them here. Read on ...
LTMailOrder
A new product/mixin-class or something like that. Essentially, I've
been playing around with COREBlog, and I like the Moblog (email to blog
post) feature. But I would prefer something that would play nice with
Plone, so I'm stripping out the POP account checking code and writing
it in a more generic form so that it becomes possible to email in
content to a CMF or Plone site and it will show up. I figure on doing
this as a separate product, but I've also thought that maybe a mixin
class might be useful for SimpleBlog or PABlog modification.
Lawtec II - the sequel
This site started out as a customisation of the ZopeZen skin for
Plone1. But it carries baggage all the way back to its first
incarnation as a CMFDefault site on FreeZope.org. So it is time to
refactor - I've been getting and better at CSS redesigns of Plone2
sites, so I'll have a crack at something a bit more interesting. I've
also been reading Jimmac's icon creation tutorial (very enjoyable
stuff) so the eye candy might be a bit more appealing next time around.
LTOnlineTest
I'd almost got this one to 0.1 release stage, but then Law intervened
:) I'm working on it again and hope to start integrating some of the
Exam product's code. Watch this space.
