Dear Zope Users Apologies if this is not the right forum to raise these questions. I am helping a charity decide on an Open Source / Open Standards CMS and also a framework and supporting tools to help them develop their web based applications faster. I would very much appreciate your views on the following: - What is your view on Python versus Java. I am hearing that Python may be more productive than Java in building web based apps. - Whilst Zope is open source, to what extent is it based on Open standards, If we select Zope/Plone/Python is there a danger of getting locked in to something that is proprietary. - Are you aware of any comparisons done on Zope CMF/Plone versus other CMSs (such as Open CMS) that we could have access to ? Any help most appreciated. -- Shashin Shah
