-I am testing the ExternalEdit option. This page was accessed using Mozilla 
under windows with ExternalEdit defaulting to WORD (yuk).
-I modified the ZopeEdit.ini file in c:\Document Settings\ so that 
editor="WinEdt" and now I am editing using WinEdt. So it seems to work.
-
-ExternalEdit now works using Mozilla 1.7.1 and FireFox 0.9.3 under Windows. I 
can use either WORD (the default)
-or I can set the editor in the ZopeEdit.ini file. WinEdt works for me. vi 
under cygwin shows the known
-problem that the most recent version of the page is not loaded.
-
-If someone tries ExternalEdit under Linux please let us know what browsers and 
editors work for you.
-
-I am still having trouble using Explorer, apparently due to a "no-cache" 
option that is being set somewhere.
-But following the troubleshooting instructions at 
http://zope.org/Members/Caseman/ExternalEditor/install-win32
-regarding this problem did not seem to help. As far as I can tell we are not 
using "cookiecrumbler" or any
-other Zope option that affects caching. It is possible that this might be 
happening because we are using Apache
-as a frontend proxy to Zope. If so, or in any case, I think it might be 
possible to set some options in Apache
-to override this. But unless we have some users who really really want to use 
Explorer, then I would suggest
-we use either Mozilla or FireFox instead.

-I didn't see quite enough details below, but I think this might

-to direct a message to a specific page in the wiki based on the

-Well, as a physicist it seems that I am often in the position of
-having to remind myself that it is user *perceptions* and not
-facts that determine how users behave. :) You realize, of course
-that email via the axiom-developer mailing list is also archived
-and (quite) easily accessible via the web even for people who are
-not subscribed to axiom-developer? In MathAction the situation
-does seem to emphasize the web interface first with the ability to
-subscribe and act like a mailing list as a secondary feature. But
-really they are essential the same.

-Lately I seem to be dealing more and more with the fact that
-people view interaction via the web (as in the case of a wiki)
-quite differently than they view material that is delivered and
-distributed via email. This currently seems to be a major
-obstacle to implementing active collaboration via the web. :(
