Hi everybody, I was thinking about trying to develop a social-networking site, like myspace.com or facebook.com (well, on a much smaller scale of course). Elements I'd like to make available for the users are: - profile with photo gallery - blog - instant messages to other online users - chat functionality - forum/discussion boards - "internal" mail system - ... (should be extensible) After looking for information for quite some time, I am still not quite sure what to do: 1) Do you think Zope/Plone would be the right thing for this kind of project, or rather some Java CM-system (with better performance maybe since it is compiled and not interpreted?) or some PHP-system? (not a fan of PHP, to be honest... I favor python) 2) Now, the main question: Zope or Plone? I don't completely understand the difference between these two... I would really appreciate some help/other opinions on this matter. Thanks a lot, Martin P.S.: Sorry for the double-post. I didn't want to send the email in HTML.
