Yes I definately agree with this. I am currently using an open source intranet solution called ocs (http://www.obsidian.co.za) I have found it really good, however it would be nice if I could move it over to zope so I don't need to use apache and Zserver. It seems to be written in perl but could be a good starting point.

As for Zcommerce this would also be great, I am in the procress of looking for solution in this regard. I did come accross another open-source product called Minivend which seemed to be pretty good, although I haven't had time to thoroughlyu  investiaget this. 

Just on a side note, I'm pretty new to Zope and this discussion list but shouldn't this discussion probably be in Zope-Dev??
