zope intranet development
Hi, I am fairly new to the Zope world, but have chosen to undertake development of our department's intranet. We have been evaluating zope for some time now and toying with the CMF and plone. It seems that these tools are overly complex for what we need. We have no need for any sort of membership, simply just authentication and some degree of content ownership will suffice. For this we have chosen to build something more from the ground up. First, are there any simple tools that will help us to implement these goals? Also in starting to build the site, I am faced with choosing DTML or ZPT, any ideas on which is best for this type of project? I feel like I need a starting point in how to develop this project. I have a stack of zope and python book in front of me, along with numerous web resources, but don't know how to approach the overall design of this project. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Kevin Sullivan Systems Administrator MIT Economics Dept

- If you have programmers and designers, who should play together: choose ZPT and don't think about DTML! - If you only have "programmers": maybe DTML is much less confusing for them [Chris W. might have another opinion on this issue ;-)]. As far as I know: DTML is still a little bit faster processed by ZOPE than ZPT... cheers, maik

i generally try to apply the rule of one to zpt vs. dtml. if only one person is going to be building and maintaining the system, then dtml is fine, otherwise zpt is preferred. in either case, use of python scripts is key, to keeping your templates clean. -kapil
