CMFTypes is now Archetypes

March 12, 2003

I wanted to post this late last night but I couldn't get to my site...

SourceForge Project: Archetypes

'Framework for the development of new Content Types in Zope/CMF/Plone. Schema driven automatic form generation, simple integration with rich content types, and a lower entry bar to the complex requirements Zope places on new content objects.'

I used the predecessor to this, CMFTypes. I'm very happy that this effort continues. There's also another somewhat similar project underway, TTWType (TTW == Through The Web, ie: you define the types using a web interface rather than by manually writing a Python module). A while back, my understanding was that CMFTypes/Archetypes was working towards TTW generation of content types as well.
