[Zope] Zope for 200 users?

Ah, the concept of 'users' go away on the Web, quite honestly, given it's
grand stateless architecture. *gack*

If you mean all their objects get stored here, then well, you're not going
to like the answer, because at this point Zope doesn't have the ability (at
least not exposed) to combine a bunch of object databases into one tree.

If you want to store it that way, yes.  Now if you just want to MAP
/~users/zope/foo to user foo, and such, then that's fine.  Starting a Zope
for each user would be insane :-)
