As Martin is Dutch, I replied to him in private (and CCed to the Zope-NL 
list). I would like to see some comments from the community on IPS though.

In functionality, IPS seems to be (if my marketing filter is operating at 
all) the closest competitor to Zope as a Content Management system. Pity 
its closed source and probably very expensive (they do not quote any 
prices..). Also, their minimal hardware requirements are pretty tough, and 
it only runs on Solaris and NT.. I can go on with quite a list where Zope 
has the better. Especially the URLs. No search engine is ever going to 
index their site.

They have a nice list of customers, especially in the only newpaper 
department. Any comments from DC on this product?
