[Zope] Middleware discussion on InfoWorld

[Alexander Staubo]

In her current forum, Maggie Biggs postulates that middleware will be
the area where Linux will grow most in the near future. She asks: "Has
anyone here implemented Lotus Domino on Linux? Or, what about using Zope
or Enhydra for application serving? What other Linux-based middleware
products have you investigated?"

If you care about your Linux and your Zope, go and tell her what kind of
middleware (*) apps you're using it for.

* It's a goofy term much loved by marketdroids and journalists and CORBA
people. It denotes server apps that sit in a "middle tier" of an
n-tiered distributed system (such as a web-based database front-end,
which is positioned between the client and the database server).
Middleware is an euphemism for what programmers sometimes call "glue" or
"this little Perl/Python script I chucked up last night" or, these days,
"this nifty bunch of Z Classes that drive our internal document
management system".
