Would it be worthwhile to start looking at and hacking ZServer?

It's allways worth while! :) I think the point paul was trying to push is that we are interesting in publishing our objects over various transport protocols. If you want to look in this direction, probably the best idea would be to write a Medusa handler. Check out Sam's site at: http://www.nightmare.com/medusa There currently exists an ftp and http medusa handler for Zope, which you can look at in the latest ZServer alpha release availabe at zope.org. I'm not sure is there is a Medusa CORBA handler or not, I suspect not, but maybe there's some type of CORBA out there written in Python? -Michel
