Zope and Enhydra Comparison by Paul Gresham, CEO/CTO, MediaVisual This is now available via the on-line Lutris Enhydra Journal (for access register via http://www.lutris.com/products/newsletter_registration.html ). Excerpt (which struck a particular chord with me): "The learning curve of Enhydra is initially steeper but shallows out quite quickly. The Zope learning curve is very shallow and then increases exponentially to x to power infinity at which point your head valorizes. Of course to give Zope its karma back, Zope is more easily accessible to non-programmers whereas Enhydra is much less-so. The main reason behind using Enhydra on our most critical product to date, was that we knew we could do it with servlets, and that worst case, and given the structure of enhydra, we knew we could code our way out of any problems. Using Zope we knew that we would reach situations which may be unresolvable in the short term, and could not make significant business decisions with so many unknown factors and lack of any way to circumvent problems. The upshot is that our Zope projects were rather painful and Enhydra ones wore out our keyboards with so much code." The second sentence is perhaps a candidate for http://dna.yi.org/Zope/Quotes. Maybe a North American reader could confirm that "valorizes" means what I think it means ;-) Paul -- The Library, Tyndall Avenue, Univ. of Bristol, Bristol, BS8 1TJ, UK E-mail: paul.browning@bristol.ac.uk URL: http://www.bris.ac.uk/
