Greets. I am the developer of the CIS project, and, would like to give a quick notice to all: 1. 1. The CIS project is a project aiming at helping communities everywhere build their own civic networks (there is a report on this at CIS's website). It is very different from anything that might seem to be similar in design. I feel the documentation is coming along well, and a clear understanding of what it is can be gathered from it. Anyone with qustions will be warmly welcomed to contact me (and maybe point out somthing I have missed). 2. 2. The CIS project is NOT competing with Zope in anyway. One of the main things we are interested in is the Portal Toolkit - it seems like a very good design in be incorporated into the CIS. If, somewhere down the road, we are fortunate to extend it's capabilities beyond that existing now, we plan to make the developments available back to the Zope community. Remember, Zope is the CIS's framework, the Portal Toolkit an engine. We are not attempting to replace anything Zope is doing. Zope is good. Zope is great. That's why we chose it, dig? :-) Great, now we are all on the same level. Keep up the good work, guys!! Working for the good of mankind, Eron Lloyd (EarthTone)
