[Zope] Zope as Portal Server

[dave@kovach.com]

Steve -

Please go back and read other messages in this thread. As, CMF is not the same thing as I am talking about. I am talking about having CONNECTORS into different enterprise applications that then use ZOPE to handle security, state, other informational content etc. 

As far as I can see... CMF is very content-portal driven... Its original name Portal Toolkit was more appropriate for what I am talking about - obviously thats why its now called CMF (?!?).

The CONNECTORS create a "user cockpit" of mini-applications to do specific tasks from one interface rather than having 4 or 5 applications open at the same time - creates a more productive enterprise work environment thats focused on what the users need to get done.

It isnt about managing NEWS content (though, portals of today take in any content/application data)... so, they steal alot of the premise behind a corporate intranet too. 

Of course, this discertation is way off my point which was to discuss ZOPE as an application server with extensions that provide data connection into different corporate applications...
