    Crafty Hacks
    Software utilities, tools, and techniques I developed that have been particularly useful.
    Zope Plone
    I work with and have contributed to the development of a web application server, Zope, and a content management platform built on Zope named Plone.
    My Mailman Role
    I was a key developer of Mailman, the GNU Mailing List Manager.
    Cross-Org Software Administration
    While leading computer systems support for the Automated Manufacturing Research Facility of the National Institute of Standards and Technology I devised and helped to develop a Network Filesystem based software installation sharing scheme, the Depot.
    Emacs Allout Outliner
    Allout is an outline authoring and navigation package that I created for the Emacs programming editor and that continue to maintain. Allout has been included as part of the official Emacs distribution since 1993.
    Emacs Sundries
    Various tweaks I developed for Emacs, the programmable programming editor.
    Zope Bug Trackers
    A mainstay for development collaboration, I built the Zope Collector and it was used for at least 6 years as the bug collector for numerous Zope community and corporate projects.
    Organizable Wiki
    I devised and developed a Wiki variant which provides for realizing greater organization of the contents and makes it easy to foster and change that organization as the wiki content collection grows.
    PyCon 2003 "Debugging Zope"
    I formulated some techniques for debugging Zope and wrote a paper about it, Conversing With Zope: Interactive Debugging Using the Python Prompt, and presented the paper at the Python 2003 conference. This is a substantial but incomplete copy of the original, preserved here in case the old Zope develpers wiki is retired.
