I think it will be easy to find Zope advocates on this list, but I couldn't resist We have been building Zope applications since 1999, most of them running on ordinary Intel PCs and a couple of them are serving up to a million hits a day. I cannot tell what is wrong with your solution (I am half a planet away from Annapolis ;-), but I am sure Zope is not the faulty piece. In my personal experience Zope is at least (if not more) as reliable (and far easier to develop for) than ASP, PHP, Tomcat, Cold Fusion and even big-brand (and big bucks) names like Dynamo and Broadvision. And you can believe me - I have worked with them all. As for the reputable company, hmmm. I am curious. What do they suggest instead? Can you name the company? And one more thing - If you want to get answers to your questions regarding Zope, go to http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope and subscribe to the list. There are people far more knowledgeable than me who will be happy to help you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "di goodman" <dgoodman@movethings.com> To: "Zope Webmaster" <webmaster@zope.org> Sent: quarta-feira, 17 de outubro de 2001 17:06 Subject: [Zope] Zope Credits
I would like to be a Zope success story, but here is the situation(about which I appeal to you for help/zope hope)I am the owner of a small trucking brokerage in Annapolis, MD. We hired a local evening programmer to build an internet brokerage weblication for us(his word). After a full year and a half we are all on line today and it is failing miserably. We called in a reputable company from the area and they tell us the problem is the platform. Our programmer insists that Zope can support our business and these are the kinks of a new use. Who can I speak with that will vehemently defend Zope for our use since we have already spent all of our money and too much of our time. We think maybe there is a key that we are missing. But, none of us are programmers, you see, which is why we relied on the suggestions of someone who is. We are trucking people, we use keys to start things. Thank you for forwarding this to someone who might help. We are stuck in the driveway on ! this one. Di Goodman
