Does anyone think it would be practical/feasible to develop a groupware platform in Zope at this point? I'm thinking very big here, taking it to heights that Worldpilot never mentioned, linking email, workflow, filestorage, newsgroups, project management, contacts, journals, Web presence, jabber messaging, calendaring, and Web service interfaces. Following the development of Zope 3 and component architecture, things are looking very promising. The combination of Python 2.2 and Zope 3 could be a *major* glueing layer between multiple service backends (like IMAP, LDAP, SQL, Jabber, etc.), and something like this could probably be attemptable using that as a toolbox. I'm building some of the components already, such as vCard/iCalendar python libraries, and the possibilities of using Zope to do groupware stuff is very exciting. The type of platform I envision would enable (real-world) community groups to take advantage of all the useful groupware services afforded to companies without having to setup Exchange or Domino. phpGroupWare has the right idea, and I believe that if it can be done in PHP, it can seriously be done in Zope. Should I hold off for a while, and let Zope 3 gel some more, or am I completely off my gourd in attempting this? I've gotten some inspiration from that CrankShaft Zope product from Spoke Technologies. Does anyone know what happened to them, anyways? This is the sort of thing I'd like to emulate, only it would be an open-source platform and target community groups, grassroot activists, and small non-profit agencies.
