Ok, I'll play. How about this one? :^)
These just came up:
- The web is made for Zopping. - Zope: the web with a Zertain Class. - Zope: work the web with class. - Zope: work the web with classes. - Zope makes the Web go round. (or is it "arround"?) - To Zope or not to Zope... that ain't a question!

I seem to be the one that rains on a lot of parades but I thought this was the time to bring up something thats been bothering me for awhile. The name ZOPE. In my opinion its not very good. It doesn't convey the sense of an enterprise object oriented web publishing system. It sounds silly. Zope as in Soap. Zope on a Rope. People look at me strange when I say I've been working with Zope. I think Z Object Publishing Environment is fine but thats not a name its a description. I personally think it needs a name that suggests the power, stability and flexibility that is Zope. Am I alone in this thought?
