[Zope] ANNOUNCE: Zope/XML Roadmap

[Tony McDonald]

This is really good news.
At the moment, I go through a *lot* of hoops to get my study guides 
into an XML format (from RTF) and then into SQL so that they can be 
delivered through a Zope frontend in good old HTML. An example of 
what we do is at http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/nle/demo/ (select the 'database 
driven study-guides' link)

One thing that we want to be able to do is edit the material online - 
however, to do that means that we need to recreate the XML element, 
together with it's attributes from the SQL entry, and then put it in 
the right place in the XML document hierarchy. Then go through the 
conversion process again.  If I can put my XML documents more or less 
'as-is' into a Zope system, I am going to be one *very* happy camper!

Tone.
