The bounty I have in mind is for an Open Source XSL in Zope.

The question on my mind is: how much do other people want XSL in Zope? Im willing and able to put some $$$ up for a bounty on this. Is anyone else?
I am willing to put up $$$ for this also assuming it is to go Open Source.

Heres what Uche Ogbuji of FourThought has to say about Zope http://www.pythonjournal.com/volume1/issue2/col-intranetpython/
The Zope Dope Digital Creations, fresh from a capital infusion, has given
Pythoneers their
first complete native Web application platform in Zope. the "Z Object Publishing Environment". Zope is similar in scope to Cold Fusion or SilverStream, but open-source and python-powered.
Zope accumulates many bits and pieces of a successful Intranet site. It incorporates a database management system with object extensions (which, unfortunately, doesn't yet support the Object Database Management Group's specifications) as well as facilities for developing template Web sites, an application framework, a CGI mechanism for handling HTTP requests for objects, an HTTP and FTP server, and a comprehensive application framework to tie it all together. Z Templates are developed using a proprietary XML-based language, the Document Template Markup Language (DTML). ZTML does make some departures from the XML community in such areas as style-sheets, but it is hoped that Digital Creations or other contributors to Zope will work to close that gap.
Zope is a synthesis of Digital Creations' many earlier products, such as Bobo, Principia and PCGI. Bobo has been especially popular among Python/Web programmers, and Zope looks poised to retain the tradition. If Zope can move a bit closer towards object database and XML-processing standards, it is likely to be quite popular outside the Python community as well.
