Hello I am very interesting in gathering info on Web Appliances, and any network savvy devices which could play well with Zope. One example: SitePlayer http://www.siteplayer.com/ <quote> SitePlayer, the World's smallest Ethernet web server. The first product in a family of embedded web servers designed to enable any microprocessor-based device to become web enabled easily and inexpensively. In approximately one square inch, SitePlayer includes a web server, 10baseT Ethernet controller, flash web page memory, graphical object processor, and a serial device interface. SitePlayer developer kit is $99.95. SitePlayer modules are : $49.95 in 1-9 QTY, $19.95 in 100000-999,999 QTY Includes software licensing fees. For high volume or surface mount applications, SitePlayer chip sets are available. </quote> Going further, If there is interest I will set up a collborative Zope site for posting news, reviews, brainstorming, & pursing scenarios and how-to using embedded devices, media i/o, Zope design strategy for creative in- and out-of-the-box Zope-based applications. - Set-Top [Embedded] Box Zope - Webphone Zope - Embedded Zope - Zope for Transport - Medical Zope - Zope for Artists - Zope Web Mapping - Zope for Schools - Urban Zope - Bodega Zope - Zope for Restaurants - ZopeCams - LargeScreenZope - Zope at the Airport[Train/Bus/FerryStation] - etc Instead of getting bogged down answering the question "What is Zope?", I suggest "What can people do with Zope?". I am particularly interested in public and community applications, including art and media related. There is so much great Zope development work taking place, but the broader context of web applications, why/how seems to have lost some spark. Wher do we go from here..? I natturally want to play to Zope strengths: free, cross-platform, TTW, openSource, etc. Discussing ideas will also bring out where Zope is lacking or ill-suited. ..interested? - JASON ___________________________________________________________ Jason CUNLIFFE = NOMADICS['Interactive Art and Technology']
