I need to be able to have many people collaborate on a project where they could send me text data delivered to a specific file that is assigned according to their geographic area. From that text file I will then utilize a python script to organize the text into XML for a book type publication. I am not sure if I should just collect the data in Zope, and then place it in Apache where scripts could manipulate the text for XML. I know that Python and Apache work very well for the XML conversion and XSLT. My main question is how would I design a form in Zope that would deliver the text file to that specific file listed above. Any suggestions would be helpful. A form is an input device allowing you to enter data. It is not intended to "deliver a file".
I would keep all data in Zope and write a file on request. I would use an External Method for this. However, your problem specification is too vague to say something reliably. Dieter
