Need information about Zope Products
Hi, I am new to Zope and am evaluating it for use in a large portal project. In particular, I need to determine how much of the project requirements could be satisfied with existing products and how much would necessitate customizing existing products or creating new ones. I have searched through http://www.zope.org/Products/all_products and have some questions about what I found and did not find there. (If there's anywhere else I should be looking, please let me know.) ******CALENDAR****** I am looking for an event calendar that would enable a group of users to schedule events as individuals and as a group. There are calendars included in Online PIM and Zope Unified Grand Desktop, but these projects don't look mature or up-to-date. Simple Calendar of Events also looks like there's not much activity. The only one that looks reasonably active is EventFolder. Does any anyone have experience with it? Are there any other Calendar products out there I should look at? ******PDA SYNCHRONIZATION****** Since there's a calendar, of course there's an interest in synchronizing to a PDA. I could not find anything about this on zope.org. ******STATISTICS REPORTING****** If I were to use apache as the web server, I would use webalizer or something like that to report on site statistics. But if I use ZServer, is there a product that gathers together statistical information in a way similar to webalizer? Or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree: is there a tool for converting a Z2.log file into a format that can be analyzed by webalizer or something similar? ******BULK MAIL****** Zope seems to be pretty robust in its mail tools (Zmail in, support for POP3 and IMAP, as well as the sendmail tag) but I could not find a product that provides listserv functionality. I also noticed that zope.org itself uses mailman (e.g., http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev). Should I stick to mailman, or is there a product to do this? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!!!

Z2.log can be analyzed by webalizer as-is. it uses the combined logfile format IIRC. jens
Z2.log can be analyzed by webalizer as-is. it uses the combined logfile format IIRC.
Actually it's the "common" logfile format ("common" doesn't log referrer, but "combined" does IIRC). It can still be analyzed with Webalizer, though... - C

Hi Phil,
******BULK MAIL****** Zope seems to be pretty robust in its mail tools (Zmail in, support for POP3 and IMAP, as well as the sendmail tag) but I could not find a product that provides listserv functionality. I also noticed that zope.org itself uses mailman (e.g., http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev). Should I stick to mailman, or is there a product to do this?
Mailman is very mature and well-tested (read: scalable), and although it's not a Zope product and is not integrated with Zope, it is also written in Python. (It is actually maintained mostly by Barry Warsaw, a Zope/Pythonlabs employee). It's a good tool that has one (minor but sometimes annoying) limitation: subscriber logins cannot be shared between maillists. So if you have many Mailman-based maillists, people need to manage their logins and preferences for each separately. It also has a fairly weak archiver (Pipermail) that has no search capability. But it's an excellent tool. See this review: http://newsforge.com/newsforge/02/04/18/2327248.shtml?tid=51 Stephan Richter has written "ZMailman" which aims to integrate Mailman into Zope: http://www.zope.org/Members/srichter/Products/ZMailman . It doesn't look like its under active development, though. There is at least one other Zope-based maillist programs: MailBoxer at http://www.zope.org/Members/mjablonski/MailBoxer . HTH, - C
