The issue is that right now anybody is a yahoo account away from being able to write arbitrary DTML on zope.org, and that this has brought zope.org to it's knees in the past.
What if there was a standard page for presenting your contributions, that your contributions could have html in them, and if you were interested in providing different ways to view member folders, you could get permission and create a skin that then anyone could select?
Esp. if that skin could cover more than just member folders, but the entire site?
I think for the "normal" user it is perfectly fine to limit him to what the CMF framework can offer. However, there might be "power users" who contribute functionality to zope.org on their member sites. These people would probably need special treatment (and they would NOT be a real danger to zope.org like the anonymous yahoo account user). Maybe we need more roles on zope.org (e.g. "managing editor" permissions for a certain section like a project homepage or so). There has been a lot of discussion in EuroZope land on how zope.org could become more like sourceforge (i.e. offer more functionality for developers, better search for products etc.). I think what zope.org really needs before you start the redesign is a proper analysis of all the target groups and a concept for each. Zope offers so many ways to present different content views and functionalities (i.e. portals) to let's say a journalist than to a hardcore Python developer. The aim for zope.org should be making it one of the best Zope sites and one of the best dynamic sites in the web ... Joachim
