Zope 2 Interface Sprint  - Melbourne Sept 2005

Sprint veterans Richard Jones and Anthony Baxter enthusiastically proposed a sprint at the April OzZope meeting after seeing Jim Gilbert's demo of his high performance, low bandwidth XML tree feature for Zope.  This standalone product allows multiple trees, it's extendable and customisable. A significant feature is that the tree doesn't require a full page reload, only the new branch gets reloaded. The demo also showed Drag and Drop, Copy and Drop, and Reference and Drop of objects.  Richard Jones showed the May OzZope meeting some of the interesting work he's done on the Zope 2 interface.
