Editing entires with your browser is a freebie with zope, and attaching
files shouldn't be a problem either.

It's hierarchical data, so the ZODB is better than MySQL.

Um... you don't really need a "plugin" to do it in zope.  Just a little
DTML work with dtml-in.  The main hassle would be getting it laid out in
the same format, but it's doable.

Look at the DTML guide and the Zope Quick Reference for more information
about dtml-in.
