Hi, After having studied Zope for about a month (in my spare time) and having read this list's messages during that time, I'm still ambivalent as to what to use for a website I'm developing. For example, several of the pages in the website will each be dedicated to an individual author. Each page will feature a short bio, a list of books authored, possibly a list of articles authored, and links to interviews and other interesting web sites/pages about or by the author. Each book in a list could have information about when it was published, ISBN, any awards received, links to reviews, links to one or more sources where the book can be purchased, and other interesting details. In some cases, the book could have a link to its own detailed page, within the website. (No, it's NOT Amazon II ;-) Prior to discovering Zope I had been working on implementing this with PHP, possibly combined with a relational database such as PostgreSQL and/or XML/XSL. With Zope, I have started working on the rendering using Page Templates. However, I'm still undecided as to what is the best way to handle all the data and content. Some of the recent messages indicate that ZClasses are not the way to go, that one should use Products, but the Zope Book (Extending Zope) describes products as being implemented with ZClasses or in Python (which I've been trying to learn too). The book also briefly describes support for XML but there is no mention of XSL, presumably because ZPT is the preferred mechanism for rendering different views. And of course, there is Gadfly and the relational DB adapters, which potentially would allow storing most of it in, say, PostgreSQL, my original preference, because this could hold lots and lots of data. I've also taken a look and installed CMF, but it doesn't appear to be a good match, since most of the content will not be long text articles, but rather short classifiable information about a given topic. I realize there's no single answer and that each solution has different costs, learning curve, future flexibility, etc. associated with it. I hope that input and feedback from the list will help in reaching a decision. Thanks in advance for any comments and suggestions. For reference, I've been using 2.5.1 on WinXP, but the target will most likely run on Linux. Joe
