All unsatisfactory. Using Zope looses you a lot of advantages you already have in your working environment. Like the unix tools box (if you are using Unix, that is), including syntax highlighting editors, version control, special script tools like find. In that respect it is not, what I was hoping it is.
I was under the impression that Zope includes a built-in FTP server. Haven't tried it myself. But, as Emacs has transparent support for editing by FTP, you should still be able to use all your traditional Emacs tools -- PLUS, with a bit of conniving, use CVS with Emacs' built-in vc support.
Also aren't there are few plugins or something that will store the Zope objects in a standard filesystem instead of the single database file? I have no idea what it uses as the representation for these objects, however it might be worth your time to investigate and see if they are stored in plain text native form.
This is what I will have to try next. Right now, it moved down on my stack. Thanks for the reply about this. Apart from that concern I am getting second thoughts about Zopes speed, because appwatch and technocrat always have been quite slow for me. And the target seems to be under 1 second for best usability and they usually do not accomplish that for me.(And it is mostly not the page size.)
