I have been faced with a proposition to build a web portal type site for an australian community. The proposal is as follows.... The site is for a not-for-proit organisation. Flash portal layout. Area for users to login. Logged in users progress throughout the site collecting points according to how many messages they may post on a message board or how many times they post images or download files etc... The points can be exchanged for goods or services offered in a section of the site. The site must contain a gallery of images and videos that can be posted by user who visit. Site members must be able to publish event reviews and details. This site must be able to run as a .com on a foreign server we dont have access to except via ftp. We as yet dont know what OS its running or what server software its running. I have little database or portal programming experience. I do have university multimedia experience that allows me to complete the web sites design. I also have a sound knowledge of computers and the Internet generally and a basic knowledge of linux. I have been appointed leader in creating the site with limited resources. Can anybody suggest how i tackle the problem? Is this type of site possible with Zope if i were to attempt to teach myself python? Any response whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. If anyone would like to tackle the project by all means give me a yell ! Kindest Regards Ben Snooks snooksy@urban.net.au bmsno1@student.monash.edu.au Peace and Light %
Yes, Zope can cope. But but but but but. You cannot expect us to know you if will be able to do the project with Zope. If you are not a programmer hire one. just my 2 pence of advice \Oliver
