The first sighting (by me anyway) of anything about Zope in a UK computer mag. See article by Lee Kimber entitled "An app server free-for-all" in 17 Jan issue of IT Week or http://www.zdnet.co.uk/itweek/analysis/2000/02/internet/ (the paper version features a mugshot of Paul Everitt and so is clearly a must-have for true Zope groupies ;-) ) I thought the final paragraphs were an interesting take: "[But] both Zope and Midgard rely on easily learned and well-known scripting languages for even the most technical aspects of their configuration. That puts them just a short climb up the learning curve for those developers who built today's Web applications using Perl CGI scripts. That ease of development raises another, intriguing possibility: that companies that want to add features will be able to do so with the same ease that Microsoft's Visual Basic made possible when companies wanted to build custom business applications out of Microsoft's Office In making Visual Basic so accessible, Microsoft spawned an entire VB office application industry. Only time will tell whether Zope and Midgard are about to do the same for application servers. " Incidentally, the article is completely devoid of the J-word ....
