Older versions in CPS
=====================

- NuxDocument

- NuxCPSFlexibleDocument

- NuxCPSFlexibleDocument2

Not abstract enough. Lack easy TypesTool creation. Not enough
abstraction of form processing and layout. Not useable for
extensible metadata.


Formulator
==========

- http://www.zope.org/Members/faassen/Formulator

Not oriented toward having extensible instances. Too much oriented
toward form generation. No abstraction of layout.


CMFTypes
========

- http://plone.org/documentation/CMFTypesBook

- http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/collective/CMFTypes/

Oriented toward code generation, not TTW document type creation.
Types are not extensible. Presentation and validation are confused.
There is no abstraction of the layout.

Has an interesting concept of text transformations but this is mixed
deeply in the validation code instead of being an entirely different
tool.


Flexible Metadata patch
=======================

- http://www.gocept.com/opensource/projects/CMF_Metadata

Only does flexible metadata.


Bricolage
=========

- http://www.bricolage.cc

- http://www.masonbook.com/book/appendix-d.mhtml

Not a Zope product. Does interesting stuff.
