[Zope] Zope Sites and Info Needed to Convince Boss

[Jatwood@bwanazulia.com]

I have been trying to convince my boss for a few months to try and 
build our database driven website in Zope. The first round they built 
it in ASP (www.gotfundraising.com) and now not only is it slow and 
difficult to manage but it does not work the way it is supposed to. 
So here I am  trying to convince them to build it Zope (again). I 
have tried to talk about Open Source about functionality,  about 
developer communities etc. Here is where his argument comes down to.

1) If you (me) get hit by a truck I will not be able to find anyone 
else to fix/build in Zope.
2) Can Zope scale to a big site and won't we just have to replace it 
with something else?
3) There is no technical support.
4) ASP is simple and a "standard"

So I have put together a list of articles, sites and arguments but I 
would love if anyone out there who has dealt with this situation can 
send me more material (I have combed www.zope.org). Anything would be 
great, sites running Zope, examples of what you have done, experience 
with ASP vrs Zope, comparisons to bigger products (Vignette).

This is one area where I really think Zope.org, Digital Creations and 
the user community need to strengthen which is the availability of 
information on the product, comparisons, etc. If Zope, like Linux is 
going to work and grow it needs to battle the FUD of all other 
products.

Whatever I get back will go towards an article/posting on my member 
page of Zope.org.

Thanks for all your help,
