Hi!
We're thinking of using Zope for a rather big project and because of that I wanted to ask if there are some references where Zope is used in a bigger environment.
The best examples are really the ones on Zope.org in the case studies. Not a lot of numbers but a few.
Well, I thought that there might be some more ;-)
Also I would be interested in which companies in Germany are doing consulting for Zope and the like.
Check the references area of Zope.org
Also here I find only one for Germany. I hoped to get some more.. ;-)
We need this to have some arguments against other technologies. Are there maybe any benchmarks between Zope and Websphere or similar servers?
Here is one against Apache's Jakarta Tomcat.

This one I know but this will not be the choosen product. More they're thinking about Websphere and similar applications (thus commercial ones)
It should give you some idea but a big warning in benchmarking: The more the server does the slower it will be. Zope is doing a ton of stuff besides just serving up content so make sure that what you compare it to can/is doing the same stuff.
I know.. Anyway, thanks for the hints :) -- christian
