[Zope] New Zope-powered site

[Kevin Lewandowski]

Hi, All.

I thought I'd mention my site that I have recently converted 
from PHP to Zope.

http://www.discogs.com

The site is called Discogs, it's is a user-built discography 
database for electronic music (house, techno, trance, etc). 
It features discographies by artists and labels, and the data 
is all cross-linked (same concept as www.imdb.com, except for 
music).

Traffic-wise, it's currently serving about 2,500 users per day, 
and 12,000 pageviews per day (increasing about 20% each month).

The only major hurdle in converting from PHP to Zope was RAM. 
It seems Zope needs a lot of memory. Previously I was running 
with 96 megs with 128 megs swap, no problems. But after 
turning on the zope site there was no free memory and Linux was 
constantly swapping. Site access was extremely slow or none at 
all. A quick upgrade to 512 MB solved that :) It's definitely 
worth the increase in productivity.

p.s. thanks to everyone on this list who has helped with my 
questions over the past few months!

-Kevin
