Is there a working demo you know about? I remember to have arrived to ezPublish's site, and also to have left it in a heartbeat, just after reading "PHP" and relating it to Post/PHP Nuke. Of these last, I had the chance to test drive PostNuke at its online demo, and I came up to the conclusion that although it is a little more featured out-of-the-box than CMF+Plone+ZZen, what was implemented was not the way I'd like a community site to be, and so I decided not to try it. (PostNuke is supossed to be more featured than PHPNuke.) The problem with OOTB suites is that it causes all the web sites to look the same, and therefore clients concerned about this urging us developers to be more creative and even more intuitive when creating a site's experience. Nonetheless, as they are a great marketing for the platform behind them, it would be good to know what EzPublish can do so that we could surpass its features in a future skin release.

Hi:
First of please don't flame me if I sound like a devil's advocate here...
Does anybody know of a product as complete/mature as ezPublish (a CMS built with PHP/Mysql, it's at http://publish.ez.no) in Zope?
I have checked out CMF, and Plone, but although they are very nice, in the case of CMF, it seems that it does not have all the features that ezPublish has out of the box, and with Plone, there's still no 'stable' release as of this writing. Besides, both of these products seem oriented mainly towards building collaborative web sites where all members eventually post news and info, and do not seem to be oriented towards 'topic and/or category' driven sites maintained by a handful of people only. I am not saying it cannot be done with Zope. I have also checked ZopeZen's code, but it's not as full-featured as ezPublish.
I know zope has the basis to build everything that exists in ezPublish, but I was wondering if there's a Zope CMF that's similar in features and stability as ezPublish out of the box.
Regards,
Jorge M.
