In 2-3 years Zope will sound as natural as Apple or Xerox (unless you speak the Cypriot dialect in which case it will always mean lame!) Until that time whenever I am trying to promote Zope to some corporate circles I use DC's Distributed Enterprise Object Platform and from there on I refer to it as Zope. Usually nobody notices (or cares) that Zope is not DEOP but the association (and pronunciation) is close enough to keep everybody happy. And judging from the nonsense I heard during one such visit, next time I am tempted to introduce Zope as 'Centralised Highly Redundant Transactional Object Manager, in short Zope' Pavlos
