hi all!
i have been using Zope for a couple of days now, and lovin' it.....
although, i do have a question:
i'm working on a site which allows anyone to create an account and with that account submit articles via a form on a submission page. basically, i am trying to get this to a point in which anyone with an account can add articles or perhaps edit their existing articles, so on, so forth. then once an article is posted it sends me an email to check it out. once i approve it, i then use Zope's versioning abilities, I could then publish that object which would allow anyone to see it. my question is this, knowing that this very much possible with Zope, how might one go about implementing something like this?
It's already been implemented. Check out Squishdot (http://members.tripod.com/squishdot , http://www.squishdot.org) a Zope product based on Confera. There are several sites that use Squishdot already, like my own FIAWOL (http://fiawol.com) and Bruce Perens' Technocrat (http://www.technocrat.net), and many others. There are two other products yopu should check out: KM|Net News, and the not-yet-released update to Confera called ZDiscussions. HTH, Michael Bernstein.
