Hi, Terry, please don't hit reply when you don't really intend to reply to the actual message; create a new message instead. Tobias Terry Hancock schrieb:
In my research of online collaborative systems I frequently see references to MOO or MUD based systems. After some reading on the subject, it seems to me that the Zope OFS could be considered a MOO -- or at least very much like one.
Can anybody comment on that?
What (if anything) would a MOO server system be more adept than a Zope server at? And would it be logical to emulate MOO-based technologies using Zope OFS as the database?
I've essentially already committed to using Zope at the core of my application, but I'm interested in this connection, and whether there are "pros and cons to each" or "they are essentially the same thing". This will also help me to write documentation for people coming from a MUD/MOO background.
Cheers, Terry
Acronyms:
Zope OFS = Zope Object File System (what you see in the mgmt screens) MOO = "MUD, Object Oriented" MUD = "Multi-User Dungeon" (a collaborative environment that resembles text adventure games).
