But there are a lot of prepackaged scripts for Calendars, and database connections, shopping carts, etc... for PHP. So there's got to be more that just the prepackagedness of Zope to chose it over PHP.
Yes, that is important. Of course, there are a lot of Products (pre-packaged scripts) available for Zope that do these soft of things. Have you checked the Downloads page (http://www.zope.org/Products)? It is interesting that right now there is a sort-of "batteries included" topic going on in this list debating the merits of what goes into the core of a Zope release. But whatever ends up in the core, there are many, many good add-ons already out there. Bill ---------- "The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart.
