What most of us have done in the past is to write custom user interfaces, calling the underlying /manage interfaces (and borrowing code where applicable). The new way is to use the CMF (Content Management Framework http://cmf.zope.org) -- a Zope product that comes with a more user-oriented management inderface and the ability to delegate content management to selected users. In the long run, you will appreciate not having to reinvent the things that the CMF does for you. In the short run, it's yet another steep learning curve on top of the basic Zope learning curve. -- Loren

I just started playing w/ Zope, and I'm trying to do a simple Intranet site to show my bosses what Zope can do. I like the way Zope handles content management through /manage/. I'd like to use a slightly customized, simpler version for our users. Is there an easy way to do this, either by customizing or borrowing existing code?
Thanks, Anders Schneiderman SEIU International
P.S. If this question has been answered elsewhere, just let me know where to look; I couldn't find it when I poked around, but I might not have known the right heading to seek.
