We're trying to pick the right open-source platform to build an online community site.
Needs are a bulletin board, a blogging capability, and a good permissioning system (users will be members of groups and some pages will be accessible to everyone, but some limited to members of one group or another). Would Zope be a good fit for this? Any examples of Zope sites built with this functionality appreciated.
Any site using the CMF or CMF-based CMS (Plone, CPS...). zope.org is an exemple...
Thanks for any illumination.

(I didn't see a bboard on the zope.org site itself, so maybe Zope's strong points are in content management, rather than these community functions?)
CPS has a nice, threaded bulletin board. AFAIK, Plone has one too. Have a look at CPS, and you will find out by yourself that Zope is quite a good base for community/collaborative portals. My 2 cents, Bruno -- Bruno Desthuilliers - Analyste-programmeur bruno@modulix.org www.modulix.com
