Compiled a new patch for subversion according to what came out of Greg's (gstein) and my discussion yesterday. Looks like this one is going through ;)

A few days ago I wrote an email to the ZDP (Zope Documentation Project) list saying that we should teach Zope newbies more ZPT instead of DTML. The reason for this email was that I experienced many DTML related questions by newbies in the #zope freenode irc channel. ChrisMcDonough and I had a little thread (threat?) over the past few days and discussed where the problem lies and what needs to be done. As it turns out, I volunteered (damnit, it happened again!) to work over the Zope tutorial which hasn't been touched for decades (well, if you round it up ;)). Let's see whether I actually find the time to do that.

Otherwise I started armageddon on my bank account today:

• bought new Shimano Deore brakes
• bought new Continental 2.3" tires
• bought a 30 liter back pack which is specially designed for long bike tours
• bought a rack and a bag that goes with it to be mounted on the seat post
• ordered a seat post with shocks
• bought road maps for all eastern and southern Germany as well as northern Italy.

I'm almost ready to go and might leave next weekend. This is not certain, however.
