What would help in providing this would be some idea of what use you're planning to apply Zope (or something else) to...
We have several apps that would sit on zope: 1. Publication of hundreds of "articles" that have the same behavior but different branding associated with each. The content for these publications is created and managed by non-techies. Attribution and the Factory/Lever stuff is of particular interest here. 2. Customer support, subscription sales and e-commerce. This will talk to our existing back-office systems and would replace our home grown app server and NetDynamics. This sells product over the web and provides the tools for the folks who answer the phone that deal with customers. Just lots of SQL, presentation logic (what products are available, etc) and talking to our existing business logic, much of which is alread in python. Not too many worries here. 3. "Syndication" of content but the syndication is performed by thousands of users for hundreds more users. The base content is developed by us by managed and created by non-techies as in 1). But our customers munge it further for their customers. This is the "customers who have customers..." that zope seems to have been built to support, but scaled up a lot. A million page views per day is not an unreasonable number. Performance is a big worry here. We know that the "alternative" can handle it but the price makes me choke. I hope the above is not "content free buzzword compliant". Marquess markl@shore.net
