Hi all, I am designing an application that will manage content: audio, notation and text. The frontend take the user input. The backend is the db and directory structure. The middle end relays to and from backend to frontend. I am having trouble visualizing where existing zope products will help me and where I need to create python scripts to interact with the front end and backend. For example I want to check the database for existing information and send a page back to the frontend (plone). I haven't installed any products yet related to databases but is the product the place to query the database from or should I write a python module/script to do that for me. In other words what does the Zope product do for me? I don't mean to sound stupid but I am most confused by this and would prefer not to reinvent the wheel if at all possible. The above in just one scenero. For audio I need to upload a file to a remote directory and scan the headers and then user the header info to update the database. Again a Zope product or a python script/module?? Thanks Aaron
