[Zope] Bullet list manager

[Howard Hansen]

I'm working on a site that will include lots of bulleted lists.  My boss
loves the idea of making content change with each visit, so he wants to have
a bulleted list of -- say -- 10 benefits of membership, but only display
three of them for any given page view.  He's got a list of 100 interesting
facts.  He wants to display only one.  He's got a database of upcoming
events.  He wants to display three upcoming ones.

Seems to me that these are all the same problem: pick one or more items out
of a list, wrap begin and end item HTML around each item, wrap begin list
and end list HTML around the entire list, and plunk it onto the page.  Mix
in a reasonably idiot-proof UI for managing the list items, and I think that
would make a pretty cool product for Zope.

This begs a few questions: Does this or something like it already exist, or
is it just a really stupid idea?  Are there features people would like to
have?  Is anyone willing to help me with the design and creation of the
internals of this thing?  Are there any similar, folderish products that I
should use as a model for my design?

Thanks!
