CMS/publishing system
[Note: this was also sent to cms-list@camworld.com/Content Management System Mailing List] I'm looking for opinions on Zope being used as a CMS/publishing system. Here's some rough notes on our situation and my thoughts on Zope. We run NT now, but would like the option of migrating to *nix. (Zope runs on both.) We want to deploy across 50+ sites. (Since it's open source, we'd spend our money on customization/development rather than licensing fees.) We'd prefer a browser based administration system. (Zope's already got a very good one.) Some questions I have are: 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. How does Zope deal with serving virtual domains off of a single NT box? What approach would that require? Zope looks like a really nice platform, any real-world evaluations would be most appreciated... (Besides what I've read on www.zope.org) thanks... Pete

Yes, its very good, but could be better. Its currently too hard wired I think.

Nope. You should take the chance to reimplement them. You get better performance and much cleaner solutions (better to maintain and more secure) then any of the mentioned solutions allow. Many things are better done completely different in zope.

There are several options. One of it is site-access (product at zope.org) You can also server different instances of zope off the same server (using different ports and apache or squid in front as dispatcher)

We are currently implementing a light CMS. So stay tuned... ;) Regards Tino Wildenhain

How much integration do you need? You say "run alongside"..... is it enough to run Zope and CF behind the same Apache? Apache integrates the two in a single URL namespace, but keeping the application logic separate? Toby Dickenson tdickenson@geminidataloggers.com
