[Zope] [Fwd: Re: Zope Solution]

[Jason Earl]

Hmm... I actually know *how* to use XML-RPC, in fact I think that it
is incredibly slick.  Currently I am using it to enter email messages
into a PostgreSQL database.  I already had the logic to do this in
Zope, and so it seemed a shame to not reuse it.

So far this has worked really well, but I was concerned about how well
tested this sort of thing is, and how well it scales.
