I'm new to both => zope and python and I have a feeling I have the whole thing totally => wrong. => => Would it be better to do this in python some how and store each users => greeting in a dtml document? => => any suggestions would be greatly appreciated => => Thanks => => Myles => => => _______________________________________________ => Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org => http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope => ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** => (Related lists - => http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce => http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) =>
