In any case I think a lot can be learnt (copied) from the way they are marketing it. i.e. "web publishing for the rest of us" and emphasizing separation of content designers and graphic designers and web people etc.
We already teach this, but unfortunately the "PHP school of web design"
However you don't promote it as a main selling point on the website. Also I can see several areas that need inprovement to say you support collaboration well. 1) Better versioning. Locking is a bit restrictive. Private branches and merging provide more flexible ways of working togeather. 2) Better workflow support. Zope doesn't support events very well. How do I know when fred down the hall finished doing that image to link into my page? 3) And of course the old chestnut of support for wysiwyg editing.
teaches the exact inverse. Unfortunately, you can't force people to do it correctly, they have to learn their own way eventually. A bit zenish perhaps, but that's the lessons.
