Hello Everyone, As I finish my first project with Zope, I've benefited greatly from the folks on this discussion list... their Zope knowledge much greater than my own. As I leverage Zope's features to solve my application problems, I wonder what all of you folks have been building with Zope, knowing the resource this list is. As everyone attacks the various technical problems or questions of the moment, I think the nature of this list's problem-solving nature doesn't showcase Zope and its successes very well. I would like to propose the bragging, boasting, and/or summary of your Zope solutions. I believe it will help the community, those looking at Zope for the first time, and each other. My impression is... that as Zope succeeds as a platform... we all justify our time investment... and hearing about Zope solutions in a constantly evolving software development market could be very powerful. Success stories about your solutions with Zope, posts could simply be titled "Success Story: Project Title". Details such as... - Who uses them? How many users? - How important are the solutions to users? - How did you leverage Zope to get there? - What components or add-ons helped the most? - What industry do you support? Were they resistant to Zope? Has Zope penetrated conservative IT shops? - Who uses DTML, ZPT, ZEO, CMF, ZClasses, UserFolder X, Pound, etc, and how did it help? - Does your app churn numbers, transactions, views, etc... got some stats for us? - Including various levels of expertise... folks who author products, to those who apply them to specific needs. Best of all, letting your ego "out to play", once in a while, is a good thing... It is important that, if you let your ego out, you have an effective plan to capture it safely and return it to its work.... hehe If you think this idea has value, I'd love to know... I'm really tired of PHP, J2EE, .Net, or LAMP success stories in all these magazines. Not sure how this will fly, Jonathan Cyr cyrj@cyr.info http://www.WeddingWeblog.com ps- I will prepare a brag-session of my product as well... if deemed a good idea
