[Zope] reality check

I thought this forward would be of interest to the DC folks and the community at large. -jfarr

Zope has some of the worst documentation I have ever encountered. I paged through it for a while and was unable to get to any actual information, just marketing-esque hype. I turned the investigation over to my typically very fast research guy, figuring maybe I just had the wrong set of docs or something; after learning Python and spending several solid weeks of trying to figure out how to get it to update objects in Oracle (vs. just view them), he gave up on it; we aren't going to use it.

It's a good idea, and I hear only good things about Python, but Zope is Just Not There Yet.

YMMV, Brenda
