This is a Content Management System built on Python & itools, among
other features ikaaro provides:

- content and document management (index&search, metadata, etc.)
- multilingual user interfaces and content
- high level modules: wiki, forum, tracker, etc.

This is the first release of ikaaro as a separate package (before it
was distributed as a sub-package of the "itools" [1] library).

are modest:

- Now we have a friendlier user interface to manage multilingual web
pages.

- Following the W3C recommendations [2], type extensions have been
drop from the URI, so for example "http://.../index.html" becomes
"http://.../index".

However, the most important changes concern the architecture and the
programming interface, and are strongly related to the changes in the
latest itools version.

This is the (new) architecture diagram:

itools is a Python library, it groups a number of packages into a single
meta-package for easier development and deployment:

itools.catalog itools.i18n itools.uri
itools.csv itools.ical itools.vfs
itools.datatypes itools.odf itools.web
itools.gettext itools.pdf itools.workflow
itools.git itools.rest itools.xliff
itools.handlers itools.rss itools.xml
itools.html itools.stl
itools.http itools.tmx

This is a bug fix release.

The packages concerned are "itools.datatypes", "itools.handlers",
"itools.ical", "itools.vfs" and "itools.web".

PyPy Leysin Winter Sprint (12-19th January 2008)
=====================================================================
.. image:: http://www.ermina.ch/002.JPG

The next PyPy sprint will be in Leysin, Switzerland, for the
fifth time. This is a fully public sprint: newcomers and
topics other than those proposed below are welcome.

------------------------------
Goals and topics of the sprint
------------------------------

* Like previous winters, the main side goal is to have fun in winter
sports :-) We can take a couple of days off for ski; at this time of
year, ski days end before 4pm, which still leaves plenty of time
to recover (er, I mean hack).

* the overall idea of the sprint is to continue working on making PyPy
ready for general use. A few more specific tasks:

- app-level ctypes: getting to a basically usable point
would be really nice.

QOTW: "I find the best approach is to use multiple languages." - Roger Binns

"All generators can be re-written with classes using the iterator
protocol." - Jean-Paul Calderone

Mutable default arguments revisited:

itertools.dropwhile/takewhile might be deprecated:

Getting n items at a time from a generator:

A design decision: have an Article class, want a list of all Articles:

Looking for a common API for parallel processing:

Why is pythonXX.dll installed in a system directory, and not
besides the python executable?
