Sure... when I was doing the same thing I came up with this list.. http://www.zope.org/Members/BwanaZulia/zope.html After reading all of that post questions here and I am sure you will get answers.

There are similar technologies in terms of serving dynamic web content but when you add up all the parts there really is no comparison. Enjoy J At 10:47 AM +0530 5/5/2000, nitin wrote:
