Jim Kutter: I was curious to see what everyone is using zope for. I would love to take a quick survey and see who is using Zope and why?
Hi Jim & the rest of the bunch, I'm using Zope to create a website to raise funds for a hospital in Ghana. Some of the reasons to choose for Zope were: 1st - It is capable of doing everything we want, for example: * I want the website to be multi-lingual, in order to reach as many people as possible. * We want to have online donations. * We want people who donated to be able to see what will be done with their money. (online of course, but maybe also as a mailinglist) * We would like that 'normal' teammembers (sounds different than I meant ;-) ) to be able to update the content of the pages without being a 'internet goeroe'. 2nd - It's open source, so therefore it's: * well supported (advantage for me ;-) ) AND * of course, it's for free! (advantage for the foundation: we have better plans to use the money for) By the way: * The foundation is called: St. John Hospital. * The hospital is called: St. John of God Hopital. * The hospital is situated in: Duayaw Nkwanta (Ghana). * Current situation? See: http://www.zwo.nhl.nl/hbov/buitenlandstage/ghana.html. It's not my site, but it's nice to get a clue about some of the needs. (Some is in Dutch, but most of it is in English). * Current project? We want to built a mortuary. Why? You'll find out as soon as the website is finished! (Which might take a little while...) ;-) Questions and/or remarks? Please, don't hesitate to contact me. Best regards, Yvon Breuer
