Evolving set of guidelines?
Can someone in the know take a crack at setting these down in writing?
Yeah, that would be very helpful. As a Zope Newbie, who's developed lots of database stuff in PHP and Perl, I am unclear on whether I'm "supposed to" try to make everything an object in ZODB. Say I'm making a repository of documents, like articles or e-mail messages, and I expect to end up with 100s of thousands of those, should I confidently work on making them all Zope objects, or should I stick with mySQL records and/or files in the file system, like I normally would? - Flemming o / \------------------ Flemming A.
