ZOPE is not fairly unknown in the technology community, it is fairly unknown in the business/advertising/marketing community (if that can be called a community - more of a battle arena - community implies sharing) J2EE does not perform well compared to ZOPE, or indeed most dynamic runtime environments used for server development. ------------------------------------------------- on 1/7/03 3:09 PM, Kevin Carlson at khcarlso@bellsouth.net wrote: Daniel, Sorry to hear that. I hope your company is prepared for the larger development and deployment budgets that come along with the larger userbase of J2EE :-) Kevin -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Daniël Hooymans Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 8:30 AM To: Zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] Lost the battle Hi All, Some time ago i questioned this list about ten aspects of zope. (see Considerations using Zope). Just wanting to let you know i just lost the battle on getting my company to use Zope as it's web development platform.. Most votes went to using J2EE. Major cons against using Zope is the smaller userbase and the fact that Zope is still fairly unknown. Sorry, i've tried. Greetings, Daniel
