Dear Zope developers,

I dl zope recently, I think it will become a great site management
product. However, I can not learn much from the docs I found. Here are
some things in my mind, Please consider to put them into the docs and
give some examples to get people start.

1. Auto (dynamic) Site map generation. A branch can be excluded by
assigning a specific attribute to the folder.
2. Auto menu generation. Nodes with specific attribute on it. Can be
horizontal or vertical. Just like in Zope's site.
3. News page generation. With automatic expire by designated date.
4. Ad banner insertation and billing management.
5. Search the site.
6. Expire pages by designated date. (will remove them from menu)
7. Backup / versioning
8. Personalize : like that on excite.
9. Access to meta information inside the page: time-last-modify, author,
last-visit-time, version, visit-counter, meta-tags.
10. Support Spiders
11. Xml storage and publishing : store them with parsing, searchable,
publishing with stylesheet (we may not want to give them all of the XML,
may be part of it).
12. A better WYSIWYG authoring tool.
13. Multi-linguage management: use browser's lang perference to select
language sent out, with auto menu generate in that lang and change lang
menu auto gen. When a page is modified, list all pages need to modify in
other languages. (some what like fontpage's task list?).

Thanks for
