Re: [Zope] HR Department Org Chart

I am getting ready to build an Organizational Chart 'product' within Zope.

Where does this information reside now? That would dictate what approach you take. I once did something similar for a company where the data resided in an ldap db, but it was far too slow to recursively query in real time so I had to dump it to a relation db every night which I could query quickly. Anyway, once a person logs on and you know their unique identifier, you should be able to query the datasource to see where they sit in the hierarchy when trying to edit another user. Just a thought.
