[Zope] Using Zope for Document Collaboration

[Mark Langkau]

Thanks Loren -

I installed both of them yesterday, which is what started me down this path. I *really* like DocumentLibrary. I didn't see anything in either product for actually editing the document from within the
library though. (It's quite possible that I missed it - I'm just beginning to work with them)

We will be using DocumentLibrary to archive past RFP's.  Thank you Kaivo for some great tools!

What I think I'm looking for really feels like a Zope app. I'm probably just not aware of the full capabilities of tools like cmf, ZWiki, DocumentLibrary/MSWordMunger, XML, etc. I'm sure it's in
there somewhere ;-)  Am I on the right path thinking that ZWiki will be the way to edit this text online (without using the Zope Management Interface?) We're trying to avoid the "download - edit -
upload" process.

I'll check the conversion output from MSWordMunger and let you know about your <h#> observation. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Cheers,
Mark
