Everyone is talking about the difficulty in using Zope and how good Docs would help. I believe, in part, documentation is just masking part of the problem. Zope is way-to-difficult to use. If you're a programmer, you can trudge through and figure out how Zope works. But I'm not a programmer. I have yet to see any non programmer deploy a cold fusion, vignette, or any other application server solution. Zope is not nearly as difficult to implement as a java servlet based solution.
You will always lose functionality when implementing ease of use in a development environment.
I don't know what's going on at the code-level, and frankly, I don't want to have to know. If Zope is to truly adopt a wide user base, it's got to be easy enough that the average user and install and deploy Zope. Right now, it's just to complicated for me use. I've got a business to run, I don't have time to mess around with the particulars.
That is why there are people out there like the fine folks at DC, who can concentrate on supplying you with the functionality you need to allow you to concentrate on your business.
Just a thought,
Brian
