It sounds to me like the Zope Content Management Framework might work for this kind of thing very, very well (you are essentially looking to create a community-oriented portal, which is something CMF does "out of the box"). It has membership services, and the infrastructure for simple news items, and I think there are some calendar components you can add to it as well... http://cmf.zope.org Sean -----Original Message----- From: Bernard Gray [mailto:buzz999@bellsouth.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 11:12 AM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Recital support I'm not sure of etiquette on this list ... so apologies if this is the wrong list, etc. I know a piano dealer who would like to provide a free service to piano teachers. Functionality would be basic: - e-mail interface so teachers can sign-up - search page, where people can find teachers by zip code, speciality, etc - recital scheduling, which would allow scheduling of space at the dealers for teachers and their students - news: where the dealer can post news items of an infrequent basis. Is ZOPE a good vehicle for this kind of development? Anyone available for development? The dealer is located in Atlanta, GA. TIA Buz
