But of course at the moment we have to get them to: - install Zope - get, expand, and install the CMF (which is distributed as a .tgz, rather confounding Windows users) - get our product and expand/install it - then log in as the inituser, create a normal user, log out, log back in, create an ELN, then log out, then access the ELN, and join in the normal CMF fashion
What you're describing is exactly the issues (well, some of them :) that we've addressed in making Zope a viable out-of-the-box product for our commercial product. A result of our efforts are the two GUIs that we're making available - the Mac OS X and Windows Zope Controllers. http://www.bizarsoftware.com.au/resource_centre/articles/open_source.html Note, the screenshots are a little different to the current version - but the general idea is still the same. I hope to make a "batteries included" Zope distribution for both platforms that include the controllers and some pre-installed products. We don't know which products they'll be yet because the idea's still very young :) Fishbowl proposal has been created - I'm announcing it in another thread. Richard
