Developer.com: The Plone Content Management System
- You've heard about it and read about it, but have you ever tried the open source Plone CMS? This enterprise-grade system is surprisingly easy to set up and get going. In this article, you'll jump into Plone, create simple content objects, and start personalizing the system. In future articles, you'll start to explore how content management systems can model most web applications by treating business objects as content and business rules as management. (Part 1 in a 5-part series.)

BitTorrent
- BitTorrent is a protocol designed for transferring files. It is peer-to-peer in nature, as users connect to each other directly to send and receive portions of the file. However, there is a central server (called a tracker) which coordinates the action of all such peers. The tracker only manages connections, it does not have any knowledge of the contents of the files being distributed, and therefore a large number of users can be supported with relatively limited tracker bandwidth. The key philosophy of BitTorrent is that users should upload (transmit outbound) at the same time they are downloading (receiving inbound.) In this manner, network bandwidth is utilized as efficiently as possible. BitTorrent is designed to work better as the number of people interested in a certain file increases, in contrast to other file transfer protocols.

-
Psyco, a specializing compiler
- Think of Psyco as a kind of just-in-time (JIT) compiler, a little bit like Java's, that emit machine code on the fly instead of interpreting your Python program step by step. The difference is that Psyco writes several version of the same blocks (a block is a bit of a function), which are optimized by being specialized to some kinds of variables (a "kind" can mean a type, but it is more general). The result is that your unmodified Python programs run faster.

-
Spam Bayes - anti-spam classifier
- The SpamBayes project is working on developing a Bayesian anti-spam filter, initially based on the work of Paul Graham. The major difference between this and other, similar projects is the emphasis on testing newer approaches to scoring messages. While most anti-spam projects are still working with the original graham algorithm, we found that a number of alternate methods yielded a more useful response. This is documented on the background page. It also contains a plugin for Microsoft Outlook which tightly integrates classification and training into the Outlook interface!

Events in Zope 2.9
- Zope 2.9 (and Zope 2.8 when using Five 1.2) introduces a big change: Zope 3 style container events. With container events, you finally have the ability to react to things happening to objects without have to subclass manage_afterAdd, manage_beforeDelete or manage_afterClone. Instead, you just have to register a subscriber for the appropriate event, for instance IObjectAddedEvent, and make it do the work. Indeed, the old methods like manage_afterAdd are now deprecated, you shouldn't use them anymore.
