Have you tried letting them in via FTP and/or WebDAV? Or possibly constructing an upload form for new documents that makes use of a file attachment?
I know that this is probably going to meet with some resistance :-) but perhaps you could propose an emacs editing solution? I use efs (ange-ftp works the same) now, after finding out about it on this list only a few days ago, and far from hitting 'publish' -- I just save the document on the server, and it's live. You will want to rebind ALL the keys for them first, of course.
From a user's perspective, there is little benefit to using Zope rather than FrontPage+IIS. All they know is that they can't use the "Publish" button. They don't really care about much more than that.
I don't know what kind of content you're dealing with, but you may want to illustrate something simple, such as a document with automatically-inserted standard_html_header and standard_html_footer stuff in it, so they can see that they can maintain a consistent l&f w/o the standard associated mess that's required on most sites, with little or no formatting of their own. --- The Tao is like a glob pattern: It is masked but always present. used but never used up. I don't know who built to it. It is like the extern void: It came before the first kernel. filled with infinite possibilities. [glyph@twistedmatrix.com]
