[Zope] Using Zope for Document Collaboration

[Mark Langkau]

Thanks Philippe -

I had a hunch that xml would be a possibility here. I haven't worked with XML
yet, so I'm not sure how to make that work. (But I'm a quick learner, and
I can see the weekend from here ... ;-)

Any hints on how to edit an xml node online? (If it's in the docs online -
I'll find it)

Cheers,
Mark
