Raymond, I would think your quickest solution is create a series of classes and use the Zclass mechanism. That way its all cataloged and searchable, yadda, yadda. However, knowing what schoolbboards are like, I would suggest you stengthen your class system by enforcing it with a proper SQL database and connection.

I have picled up "Zope web application construction kit" by Sams, and I am now running through the online tutorials, so I should start making progress soon. Hopefully sooner then later since it always seems I am under the gun to find solutions. This is my scenerio: I am a tech for a company that services 17 school districts. We provide Internet connectivity and maintain ITV class rooms. The schools are spread out over a 3600 sq mile radius. I am constantly placing new equipment, and maintaining existing equipment. I want to create a web database application that can be viewed, and edited from any web browser. It would include item description, serial number, IP address, location, age, etc... I have installed Zope on RedHat 7.1. with MySql . Any ideas?
