Project description

Archetypes is a developers framework for rapidly developing and deploying rich, full featured content types within the context of Zope/CMF and Plone.

Archetypes is based around the idea of an Active Schema. Rather than provide a simple description of a new data type, Archetype schemas do the actual work and heavy lifting involved in using the new type. Archetype Schemas serve as easy extension points for other developers as project specific components can be created and bound or you can choose among the rich existing set of features.
