Brad,

	Welcome to the Open Source ZOPE community. The solution to your problem is
simple...

	Q: Does Tera.com have money to spend?

	A1: If YES, contact Digital Creations for direct support and collaboration.

	You can spend a tidy pile of money for access to DC folks and still not
spend what you would for a license-only to ZOPE technology if it were
offered under a proprietary product strategy.

	To my mind, ZOPE beats products costing many tens of thousands of dollars.
So spending some bucks on training and support is chump change compared to
what you get in return.

	A2: If NO (like most of us), participate in the community.

	The mailing list is maddening active, but the best way to get quick,
specific answers. Stephan Richter's informative response is proof that the
list works... although we are drowning in our own success as even the
digests get art coming fast and furious as list activity increases... but
relief is on the way...

	The ZOPE.ORG site is getting ready for a cut-over to a ZOPE2 and Portal
Toolkit implementation that will dramatically improve community members
ability to collaborate. Did you get the pre-announcement invite to take a
look? You can see it here: http://www.zope.org:8200.

	Incidentally, our interest in ZOPE is for the construction and use of
frameworks to support role-based executable business and community models.
You can find our more about this in our "ZOPE, Mirror Worlds and Executable
Models" forums here: http://sohodojo.com/scripts/Ultimate.cgi.

	Welcome again to the ZOPE community,
