Hi all--- I'm working on getting a sample install of Zope going at my office, mostly for demo purposes. Ideally, I'd like to do a proof-of-concept for a community portal-type site, which needs the following features: -page personalization for users -RDF channel importing (for headlines) -threaded discussions -ideally, group-based scheduling/messageboards I have Zope installed on a Solaris box. the only database I have installed at the moment is MS SQL Server 7.0, which I could talk to through ODBC. -will Zope talk to SQL Server? if not, what free databases would you recommend? -What data should I be using ZODB for, and what data needs to be in a relational database? -What products should I look into for the tasks I need to do? -Ideas on a plan of attack that'll break me into using Zope relatively painlessly? Also, has anyone put together a Zope Advocacy page or FAQ that I can use with my coworkers? We're a ColdFusion web shop, and I need heavy ammo to convince people to learn another language. srl
