Consider posting this question to the zope-xml list, and you might get some more responses and ideas. I'm not familiar with XBEL, but this should be reasonable to do with not a lot of work. You would want to use ParsedXML, which supports standard DOM calls, like: dom = context['MyXMLDocumentId'] items = dom.getElementsByTagName('bookmark') for bookmarknode in items: text = '' for childnode in bookmarknode.childNodes: if childnode.nodeType == 3: #if nodetype is text, append to text text = text+childnode.nodeValue context.doSomethingWith(text) #where doSomethingWith is a method in the #acquisition path of this script's context For a simple XML schema, simple DOM traversals of your bookmarks should be able to read them in using ParsedXML, which will store a document; you could use the upload functionality of ParsedXML to upload someone's bookmarks, and use TTW python scripts to read each entry, and another ttw python script or dtml method to loop through all of them... It should be reasonable to do this...

They maintain a rather lengthly list of them now, suggested by various teachers working on projects with their students. There are several Zope products designed to manage bookmarks, but none of them really seem to do what I want. I was wondering about a system that would take bookmarks in the XBEL XML format and present them from Zope using one of the Zope XML products. Is this a reasonable thing to do? I haven't messed with XML content in Zope yet and I'm not really sure where to start. Any feedback would be appreciated. -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.org | http://www.zope.com W.
