First of all Zope's main job is web publishing (sort of) and thus some features which you have in BSCW are missing in vanilla Zope. Some things which come to mind are: - you don't have notification
What sort of notification you want to have?
Well, BSCW shows it in the web interfaces, e.g. "updated by xxx at yyy" and you can commit it via a button. And you have the possibility to get an email once a day with a summary of modifications.
- the user interface might be a bit more complicated - object sharing is not that easy as it is in BSCW
The last point of course depends on what you need. Basically in Zope you have one directory tree and can give rights for objects (also subdirs) to other people. You don't have actually an home directory for each user. In BSCW on the other hand you have an homedir for each user and if you decide to share an object, a link to this object is simply put into the other users homedirectory. So it depends on whether you need some private space for your users or not.
mmm, pehaps is the Zope Portal Toolkit something you need to look at.
Someone else told me also. Unfortunately when trying to install it it did not work. But I will try again :) -- christian
