In my case: not quite, it's broader as it doesn't just direct itself at
templating. The problem domain is more on the PTK level, only different
;-) - much more specific. For most parts using the PTK (though I have little
experience with it) would mean just about as much work as using plain Zope,
though integration should be possible. Especially the Membership things look
promising.
The XHTML/Hiperdom or even the HTML Widgets proposals could well be
integrated as well, I just postponed that to a later stage though as it is
hard enough to get a basic product working well enough... And presumably the
use of other products will also require a more elaborate installing
procedure, which is not desirable for an 'out of the box site' product.
