I would like to be a Zope success story, but here is the situation(about which I appeal to you for help/zope hope)I am the owner of a small trucking brokerage in Annapolis, MD. We hired a local evening programmer to build an internet brokerage weblication for us(his word). After a full year and a half we are all on line today and it is failing miserably. We called in a reputable company from the area and they tell us the problem is the platform. Our programmer insists that Zope can support our business and these are the kinks of a new use. Who can I speak with that will vehemently defend Zope for our use since we have already spent all of our money and too much of our time. We think maybe there is a key that we are missing. But, none of us are programmers, you see, which is why we relied on the suggestions of someone who is. We are trucking people, we use keys to start things. Thank you for forwarding this to someone who might help. We are stuck in the driveway on ! this one. Di Goodman
I live somewhat in the area (Silver Spring). I would be happy to look at the application design for free to see how it looks. Then I could make a recommendation on how to proceed. You can develop bad or non-functional applications using any system, no matter how good that underlying system might be. I personnally think Zope is a sound system that allows you to build robust applications of many kinds. I would be very surprised if the problems you are experiencing are caused by deficiencies in Zope itself. /---------------------------------------------------\ Casey Duncan, Sr. Web Developer National Legal Aid and Defender Association c.duncan@nlada.org \---------------------------------------------------/
