Hi, After having to go through the process of setting up a couple of production servers using zope, I had a suggestion for some documentation regarding the abovementioned topic. Although there are lots of how-tos, documents and other resources regarding setting up zope in a production environment, they are spread out over a very large area. The members of this list are extremely helpful and do point ppl in the right direction as & when the need arises, but i would definitely like a central repository of such material presented in an organized manner (something like a chapter in the zope book). IMHO the questions it should address ( pls keep in mind there are resources answering these questions on the web - just not in one place ) 1. how to justify it all. 2. hardware consideration with explanations as to what and why ( possibly some recommendations/experience/reports - in my experience managers/clients seem to like those things ), especially in enterprise scale environments with clusters, NAS' etc. ( some performance reports would also be great ) 3. configuration options and gotchas explaining why and how 4. performace tweaking etc. I dont think I have covered all I would like to see, but this would be a great start.
