[z3-five] SQLOS, Zope2 and Five

[David Pratt]

Hi Lennart.  I read on Florent's Blog of some work being done in CPS to 
integrate Five.  How have you handled the form customization aspect 
with this work?  Can views be easily overridden when you need more 
complex handling. That is can you drop in your own templates in these 
situations. My understanding from what I have read so far is that there 
are few widgets, and if you stick to those you are probably ok - but 
outside of this it is difficult to create customizations. Would you say 
this is true. On the templating side of things, would it be best to 
consult with persons on Zope3 list?  Many thanks.

Regards,
David
