if anyone told you Open Source was "free" they were lying. This is the "price" you pay...
Chris It's not the "price". I love the price. Its the way it seems its inferred if I pull the CMF from CVS that's ok to use with a production 2.4 code. If thats the case, why not release at least a beta, or is that dude from zope corp still on vaction? ;-) I like using bleeding edge technologies like Zope. However when asked to use bleeding edge versions of it, as expected a feel faint for all the loss of fluids. I look at a product such as phpnuke, and I say why do I have to use x Zope products to achieve 1 php product. I still don't see why you would need to split Starsky and Hutch. Right now it's more a Baretta and Fred thing. And until they do like a Peaches and Herb thing and are Reunited, I'll have to wait. Zope core manages content by itself. So how you gonna have by the same company, two products that basically do the same thing. Sounds like doublespeak, and a good way to get some salaries shuffeled around. Imho having them labeled 2 separate products will end up being a hindrance to the overall project anyway. I'll take it anyway I can get it. I don't have any complaints, I love what's going on. I just don't understand parts of it.

I think there is a significant difference between Zope and CMF, and that it doesn't make sense to merge the two. To me, Zope is an Internet application framework that provides a whole lot of useful features for people who are building those apps and a decent web based UI for managing those apps. The CMF leverages the Zope framework to provide a nice content management system right out of the box. It provides the necessary workflow support, plus a whole bunch of additional user interface to make things functional for people running content driven sites. Some of the framework sorts of things the CMF provides will become a "fully-blessed" part of Zope via the forthcoming component model... but all of that UI and functionality geared specifically toward content management is best left as a separate piece, IMHO.
