Confidential! - Confidential?
Funny what you can find on Google. I looked to see if someone had already ported Frontier to Linux. In doing so, I stumbled across the linked page where it apparently was already discussed at some point — making Frontier open source back in 2001, probably under the Apache License. The pages have something on them that says "Confidential" — with a fake red stamp. No idea if that's an internal discussion site of Userland.
There's also a download area with old source code — it still contains an NDA for access to the sources.
Google finds everything.

Debate over longer working hours continues
And so the next pig is driven through the village. Never mind that we don't hold the supposed top spot within Europe for low weekly working hours. Regardless of the fact that we're not the leaders in public holidays or vacation days. Even the Institute of the German Economy sees Germany only in 4th place - with very small gaps to places 5-10 for vacation days. And for working hours, the Hans-Böckler Foundation sees Germany only in the good middle field. The politicians arrange their world to suit them just as they need it for their purely populist and completely fact-free ideas. And when politicians repeat the nonsense often enough, eventually even the last person believes it - because someone only contradicted it somewhere and all the politicians say the same thing, so it must be true, right?
And so eventually Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, society is aging because suddenly all people will live to be 150, crime is rising out of control, nuclear power is harmless, and the SPD is a left-wing party.

First Partially Privatized Prison in Germany
Corruption now 15% cheaper? Presumably, the Hessian politicians have also privatized and outsourced their brains. Well, you can't really expect sensible actions from the Koch gang anyway...

Zope.org - ZopeX3-3.0.0
Well, here it is, the new Zope with the new architecture. Everything new comes in November, or so. Looks quite amusing, but somehow it's also quite different from what Zope was before. However, I'm not yet sure whether I should like it or dislike it
