[Kss-devel] KSS without Zope

For server side KSS support we are currently tied to Zope. While basic 
KSS functionality might be easily reimplemented this still hinders 
adoption. To overcome this problem I think it would be good to have a 
basic distribution of KSS at a few levels.

The first level would be just the Javascript code. This should include 
only the core of KSS (what is now kukit in the repository). It would 
need to available as a packed version preferably with all required third 
party libraries included.

A second level would be the language specific integration points. This 
would include code for generating the response in the format required by 
KSS. It might also contain some basic abstractions like we have now in 
kss.core. With highlevel abstractions I mean code to generate the 
implemented commands in a nice way. What do you think is basic 
functionality for KSS server side components?

And the last level would be framework integration. This basically what 
we have now in kss.core. Things that are especially framework specific 
like the event system etc. would go here.

I would like to (help) make the necessary changes. Therefore I want to 
know if there are any objections or suggestions to my ideas.
