I found a recipe for iterating over the contents of a Zope store. It looks promising, but I'm not wining yet. My zope instance was built with zope 2.7 but the debian server has 2.9 now; 2.7 doesn't even show up in an apt-cache search.

This job of migrating dm93.org from Zope was pending an alternative to Zope for family calendar storage. Now that my wife's laptop runs Leopard, google calendar works as a host.

Then I somehow lost root when poeple.w3.org was upgraded or something, and I just recently got around to asking thru channels to get it back.

Time to swap this job out, I think; here's my current state:
