[Zope-CMF] Applying worklfow to a user registration process?

[Benjamin Saller]

You might want to look at the CMFUser product in the collective

tested but it makes users Content Objects that can have workflow and be
cataloged. It currently rides on CMFTypes, but it would not be hard to
port it to plain CMF.
