From a web point of view it would be nice if we could get the products and information in a more flexible format. Maybe an rdf or other xml file of the products. Then it would be a simple matter to write something that parses that...
I think you also we need to separate CPAN functionality from PPM. PPM is the bit that downloads and installs the files locally. -- Andy McKay, Developer.

Does anyone have any plans for CPAN like functionality for Zope?
It would be a very good idea. The CPAN is the main strenght of Perl (if someone cites the Vaults as a Python equivalent, it means he never used the CPAN).
In the mean time, I've reserved czan.org and .net (for the community: of course, I will give them back freely when someone will implement it) unless people prefer zopefind.net (like rpmfind.net)?
