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.
