I need to develop for several clients a relatively simple-minded eZine/newsletter kind of thing. What we want is for anyone who has an Editor role to be able to post material through an HTML form where they provide the headline, the teaser, and the main story (something like what SquishDot does for articles) and, when they push a button, the story gets posted to their site and an email is triggered to all subscribers containing the teaser and a link to the full article. It did occur to me that I might be able to modify SquishDot to accomplish this in some way but I wanted to see first if anyone knew of an existing Zope product that's designed to address this specific need. SquishDot doesn't have an easy way for people to subscribe and unsubscribe to the entire board if I recall correctly, and that would be important. -- Dan Shafer, Personal Creativity Trainer and Consultant Trained Hartman Value Profile Analyst http://www.danshafer.com/valueprofile.html

Hi Dan - have you thought about using a zwiki with email subscription, perhaps with some custom page formats & forms added ? Regards --Simon
