I want to run a development -> production system with two CMF sites and am looking for advice on how to do this. Should I run two CMF sites in the same ZODB, and write a script to update production content from development content? This system is an interim solution on the road to adoption of Zope4Edu. We're under a rigid deadline and staff resources are thin due to other demands. The content of the site lives in Page Templates, not portal content objects (I'm mainly using CMF for portal_skins) and there's no workflow. This probably wasn't the best way to do it, but it seemed easier to do everything "by hand". The main problem is, I'm worried about developers frequently breaking pages due to ZPT compilation errors and would prefer have changes made and tested on the development system, then copied to production (either manually or automatically). We are using Dreamweaver over WebDAV and can do XML validation there (we're standardizing on XHTML 1.0 transitional). Hopefully that will catch most problems, but ... I'd appreciate any thoughts, advice, links. -- David Chandek-Stark Web Applications Developer Duke University - Perkins Library (919) 660-5859 dc@duke.edu

We use CVS to synchronize presentation and logic (kept in the file system). We use ZSyncer to synchronize configuration. Content is completely separate in our case. But, it, too, could be synchronized with ZSyncer. -- Dieter
