1. A user registers as a member of a CMF site: his member data and credentials all go into MySQL; user folder and member data tool are just wrappers to pool data from MySQL. I wrote a userfolder doing exactly this months ago but realized that the member data schema couldn't be as flexible as a normal member data tool would be as a dynamic dictionary :-(
No, but if you look at how, for instance, exUserFolder you can have a single table called properties that you can use to store info (one row per user and property/data snippet). It would also be possible to use this set up build hierarchies of properties. These can very simply be translated to dictionaries. <..znip..>
Thanks again and I appologize for these constant stupid questions^^ But they're really important to me since I have to shell out the dough soon for new machines anyway, and need a concrete picture of what I'd do with Zope, ZEO and stuff.
hehe... I think they are not stupid at all. I agree with you that it is very hard to find information on how to use zope in a Very Large Scale scenario. So I think they are not stupid at all - IMHO, they just haven't been adressed properly previously. I am very interested in what you will be able to conclude since I have similar concerns (with about 1/10 of your user base :-)
