Hi Frank,
what you like to do is rather easy with zope.
There are a couple of ways to do it.
You can solve your problem either using CMF or plain zope.
The difference is that CMF offers you things like user management, and
uploading of "annotated" pdf files out of the box.

The listing of files on the server and sending of information you have to do
yourself with both approaches.

I did something similar (without the sending of weekly emails) just
recently.
You find it under www.nasuko2001.ch
Look at it. If there are parts you could use just tell me.

Robert
