We've been using ZPublisher and PCGI since the Bobo days for development, and I find myself playing with the zope.org site and finally understanding more clearly what else Zope has to offer. The question now is: what is the path for us to start using Zope beyond ZPublisher.

We have a single entry point for our app, which is PCGI-based. Many of the functions inside classes use DTML substitution, though we're doing it from the python side. It's not clear to me how this fits with the web-managed Zope side of things. Is there a doc describing this conversion/upgrade, or are there people who can explain this to me? Maybe someone who's already been through this?

I believe, possibly on the old site, that there is a Zope produce that lets you plug bobo apps directly into the Zope space with no modification. http://www.zope.org:8080/Download/Contrib/ExternalObjects.tar.gz I think this is it. Someone probably needs to adopt this orphaned child. (I think maybe Amos wrote it, Amos?)

Kudos for the greatly improved documentation on the Zope web site! Between the tips, HOWTO's, and being able to play w/it myself in an environment with some pre-existing content, it really helped things to gel.

Thanks, we're trying! -Michel

thanks, --Michael
