[Zope-CMF] Q) Using STI method vs building Python based product

[Jeffrey Franks]

Hi,

I've created a specialized portal_type
using 'Scriptable Type Information' (STI) type object.
It is supported by python scripts for view, edit, etc., and
a properties page. Now, a number of usage questions
come up.

1) How do I distribute this to multiple sites?

2) Is there a way to instance the above aggregate so
   that it is more 'like a product' that can be instanced
   multiple time throughout the site?

3) What forces are involved in the design decision for
   choosing the STI method versus building a python
   based product?
