In a book by Matt Zandstra, it gives this as - "A factory is a class or method with responsibility for generating objects." Probably no big news to most people, but thought I would mention it for anyone else who was new to patterns. Jim -- James (Jim) B.

I would love to hear about this! And PolicyTestCase. And using ZopeSkel to generate an AT schema. It's good to have so many! I would hope there would be a *lot* of choices for awhile, considering that TriZPUG is about telling others what you've learned and a whole buncha people just learned a whole lot at TriZPUG boot camps for two weeks. :) Mike, thanks for the meeting kickstart.
