Zope is very cool. Zope has many useful features. But I believe that storing most of your useful data inside an opaque object database is a fatal flaw. *nod* :)
I learned through painful experience that having your project data in text files in a filesystem is a Good Thing. You can use standard UNIX tools to manipulate these files. You can use EMACS or vi or any other tool to edit them. And most importantly, you can use CVS or RCS or any other similar tool for source control. *nod* HOW can people live without CVS on single developer projects, and even worse on multiple developer stuff?
I just don't see how you can build a large project with multiple developers using a Netscape browser as your editing tool, unless I'm missing something very obvious about the way Zope works. Agreed :)
That's why I've build my own ``little'' (perhaps tiny would describe it better) Zope Clone, using only Bobo&DocumentTemplate. As you've notices I've left out BoboPOS, so you can guess where I'm storing my data. Yes, on the filesystem. (Not completly correct, as I'm using an filestorage API, I could (at least in theory) store the whole site or part of it somewhere else, be it an SQL server, be it something else ;) ) Andreas -- Win95: n., A huge annoying boot virus that causes random spontaneous system crashes, usually just before saving a massive project.
