Interesting topic!
How does Zope compare with Midgard?
I quess Zope is more "object-oriented" as it is based on an OO language. OTOH, said OO language itself has been implemented in OO and non-OO languages (java and C) ;)
Which one is more flexible (that is: which one can be used in a wider set of cases)?
Don't know
Which one is easier to learn for the webmaster?
Probably the less flexible one ;) I don't know which.
Which one is better fit to develop and maintain a complex web site (let's say: 10,000 documents and 50,000 pictures, updated weekly)?
There is currently a 2 Gig native (Zope internal) database size limit. This won't apply when you use external database or sore files in file system.
Which one is better for web sites that uses database and/or a "fragmented document" architecure (XML/SGML documents that are disassembled and re-assembled on demand)?
Bot are wll supported on Zope. Dunno about Midgard.
Which one can better integrate other technologies (web-mail interfaces and so on)?
Zope has integrated a lot, so does PHP - you probably find most popular "other technologies" supported/supportable on both.
Which one is easier to use for a remote customer, enabled to develop and maintain his pages on the server?
Probably Zope (this is a Zope list)
Which one is better for "workgroup" intranet servers?
The one you know better :-p
Which one is safer (more anti-hacker)?
I guess they are about the same. The one that will be used more will eventually be safer due to more eyballing. Both can be configured to be insecure ;)
Which features does Zope have that Midgard does not have?
