Zope is like any drug, but cheaper. ;)

Real Soon Now (TM) we will be releasing the second generation of our
home page.  This will include many cool colaborative goodies, including
membership and home pages for community projects (and much, much more).

If you still want to go-crazy-with-the-cheeze-whiz and write your own,
we will be happy to integrate your work into the community site.  One
particualr area where we are lacking at the moment is a "Trove" like
packaging system to manage multiple versions of varous packages and the
meta-data associated with them.  For a glimpse at the trove spec
(written by Eric Raymond et al.) see:
