While it may appear that these sites are "static", they are probably
very dynamic.  Sites based exclusively on Zope do not serve *any* static
content, all content is generated dynamically.

See http://www.codecatalog.com for an example of a site which does a lot
of forms processing and database lookups.  It is based on Zope.
