Finally, on buzzwords, I'd say go easy on Python. It scares people. Say Perl, say XML, say any other ML. Who cares what BroadVision is written in? Why should we care with Zope? (someone is going to hate that). ....Mike
I disagree. Zope is very different from the others in this respect. Python is such a big part of Zope. You could almost say: "a bunch or prepared classes and libraries written in Python, and it even has a HTML end to it. The collection of these frameworks is called ZOPE" And Python is definitly something to be proud of these days.
depends on where your marketing focus is. if you're pitching the technical staff, the fact that zope is a python application _can_ be a big plus, if you're pitching the non-technical decision makers (see my earlier posts) then talking python _can_ muddy the waters. the suits are buying solutions, not programming languages so the fact that zope is a python 'killer app' means you have to sell not only zope as a solution, but now python as well, double the sales effort... -- charlie blanchard http://baldguru.com/ LosAngeles area Zope Users Group http://lazug.org
