[Zope-CMF] Re: Grokking Zope-CMF

[Dethe Elza]

Hi folks,

The recent discussion begun by Bryan Field-Elliot's question, and 
carried on by Seb Bacon and Tres Seaver's answers, is very helpful, by 
far the best description of what the Zope CMF *is* and is *for* that 
I've yet seen.  I agree fully with Bryan that the existing 
site/wiki/docs are hard to fathom, and even the answers Seb gives leave 
a lot unanswered to my earlier question ("What does CMF add that Zope 
doesn't have?").  For instance, Seb mentions undoing, multiple user 
interfaces, and roles-based security, which are all characteristics of 
vanilla Zope.

Still, this is a great start and if the Wiki and documentation were 
focussed around these key areas it would be easier for newcomers to 
Zope-CMF to get started (and understand why they should) and to help 
spread the word of Zope-CMF more widely in the CMF field.

Thanks for the toehold, now I can get climbing!
