To the folks on the Zope@zope.org mailing list... I've been trying out Zope on CodeIt's free 2 week trial and my trial is about over. I have no experience with Zope prior to this trial account. I went through the Zope Content Manager's tutorials and have tried to research it thoroughly. We are starting a new web application project and are looking for a stable, scalable platform that will be around and popular/supported for a long time. However, my business partner has brought up some really good questions about our becoming Zope-centric. These are questions that I don't have answers for and was hoping that some of you might be able to answer. 1. It appears that Zope offers little or no support for more tried and true technologies such as Perl and basic CGI. Is this the case? How does one interface with our existing Perl and C++ CGI's? 2. With no basic HTML back up, what if Zope goes down? 3. What is the limit of traffic Zope can serve at once? Can users access the applications reliably, repeatedly? As our 2 week free trial is coming to an end, we need to make a decision about whether to stick with Zope or go with a more universally accepted technology. If you would, please let me know what you think about these issues. Thanks!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
