Hello folks, We have a project being discussed here at work where I think zope would fit nicely. I explained my thoughts on how zope fits to the project manager and all I got for my efforts was a blank stare. Obviously some miscommunication. The project is a resume "database". The user would upload resumes into a database, with some additional fields for other information related to the person. The resumes and additional fields would be searchable. The user thought it would be very interesting for them if the resumes, searching, etc were available over the Web so that field offices could access them. My thought is that this would be perfect for zope using zcatalog. Now I haven't done any work with zcatalog but it sure seems like a perfect fit. Am I on the right track here? What points can I bring to bear?

I think something like this has already been done quite nicely in Zope: http://www.hiretechs.com, although to look at how it actually works I think you'd need to get a login. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Jenkins" <TJenkins@DevIS.com> To: <Zope@zope.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2001 1:49 PM Subject: [Zope] Need zope sales training :)

Even simpler, "Howto: Build a Searchable Job Board" somewhere on zope.org shows how to build something similar (not exactly a resume database, but simple enough to show a working model within a day). I don't have the URL right at hand, and can't currently connect to zope.org to find out. -- Mike Renfro / R&D Engineer, Center for Manufacturing Research, 931 372-3601 / Tennessee Technological University -- renfro@tntech.edu

(warning: marketing stuff here :-) As somone has mentioned in this list, there IS a need for Zope marketing stuff... you know, the "add /manage and see what happens" type you'd show your PHB. This should be fairly easy to make with any presentation app. Apart from this, I'd prefer to store the resumes data in an sql db (postgre ?) rather than ZODB. But I'm not the most experienced zopist, so listen to what other have to say, too. PS: PHB=Pointy Haired Boss, for the non-dilbert readers :) HTH, Dimitris http://atlas.central.ntua.gr:8000
