Truthfully, I see CMF products and Archetype products and can't figure out what they are/do? I don't see them in the Zope Book....
They're not in there. There are a lot of layers at work here: The Zope Book only documents zope itself. CMF is a framework for building content management apps that is implemented on top of Zope. There aren't really any good docs about CMF :-( (Well, there are docs about bits of it.. there's a good DCWorkflow pdf doc around.) Plone is a content management app implemented for CMF. Good Plone docs, but a bit out of date: http://plone.org/documentation/book/1 Also check out the plone-users mailing list and the #plone IRC channel, both will help you immensely. Archetypes is a content-type development framework for Plone. http://www.zopemag.com/Issue006/Section_Articles/article_IntroToArchteypes.h...
Whew so much to learn and so little time, I was hoping that Zope would speed up the process, but I am starting to be a bit overwhelmed.
Yes, unfortunately there is a lot to learn. But for something as sophisticated as you describe, that's hard to avoid. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
