Zope in the Press

  IBM developerWorks discusses "Zope from the perspective of a Perl/CGI 
programmer",
  http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-zope.html?n-l-4261
  in a fairly complimentary way.

  Although it's not specifically about zope, there's a great article called
  "Why Aren't You Using an Object Oriented Database Management System",
  http://www.kuro5hin.org/?op=displaystory;sid=2001/5/3/32853/11281
  which may be useful the next time someone brings up the "black box" of
  the ZODB.

  Speaking of the ZODB...



Berkley Database Storage

 by Ethan Fremen

  Barry Warsaw and Jeremy Hilton of PythonLabs fame have been hard at work 
on
  a new storage for zope.  This new storage, using the Berkely database from
  SleepyCat software, enabling a number of improvements over FileStorage.py.

  There are several storage implementations, but the one that matches 
FileStorage's
  abilities is the "Full" version.  This version supports undo, versions, 
and
  automatic reference counting garbage collection.
