Re: [Zope] Easier maintenance than through management iface?

From: "Martin F Krafft" <krafft@ifi.unizh.ch>

However, we have a couple of requirements for a CMS, and while I know that Zope is very extensible (and it not really being a CMS per se),

Well, no, it's an web application platform. But it does everything and more than a CMS doesm so it's CMS+, really.

My first question is: does Zope provide such a framework?

Zope *is* such a framework. Making new management interfaces are made easier with CMF, so you may want to look at that some more. You may not need it though, your requirements seem rather basic so far. CMF does a lot and can be a bit intimidating to understand.
