Pete asked:

How well does Zope integrate applications/cgi's written in ASP, Cold Fusion, Perl, etc...? As we've got a number of things we'd prefer to keep as is, and run alongside Zope.

and added:

Is it possible? I'm thinking that with Apache and mod_rewrite it would be doable (using file extensions to map the request), but I'm not sure how that might work under IIS or within Zope...

Yes, the mod_rewrite approach is a very common way to serve from both Apache and Zope, e.g. static pages / images from Apache, dynamic stuff from Zope. In fact, that's how Zope.org was set up for quite awhile, and may still be (don't know the details). There are many refernces to this topic in the mail list archives. Try searching at : http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists.html For more intimate integration with existing Perl stuff, see: http://lists.zope.org/pipermail/zope-perl/ CMS is the latest buzzword for Web Application Development, AKA WorkFlow, Distributed Applications, etc. Zope is perfectly at home with this paradigm, whatever the nom du jour!
