As a public service I'd like to build a site that is capable of accepting short notices about upcoming events such as theatre performances, tavern gigs, church suppers, etc and then of displaying them using either a calendar page interface or scrolling list. Look at the "calender tag" and the "Event Folder" (--> zope.org).

One of the many reasons that Zope appeals to me is that it seems to make it relatively easy to make it possible for others to post these items themselves. Or, IOW, I can't afford to spend time entering all of these events myself.

I don't want to have to learn everything before I do something--if you know what I mean. OTOH I would like to master a substantial part of Zope over the next few months. Would someone be willing to suggest one or two places where I can download Zope systems somewhat like what I want for study and adaptation?

Hi Bill, I know a lot of people use Squishdot for these kind of things and for exactly the reasons you mention :-) Check http://www.squishdot.org... cheers, Chris
