[Zope-marketing] zope.org - Who Uses This Thing Called Zope?

[Carlos de la Guardia]

I agree that this case study idea is well worth our efforts. I think for best
results we should come up with a standard format for the case studies. 

Maybe something like this:

* Client
* Challenge
* Solution
* Which technologies other than Zope were considered and why Zope won out
* Business benefits
* Software and hardware components
* Estimated traffic volume
