[Zope] Something like ezPublish in Zope....

[Jorge O. Martinez]

Hi:

I don't know of a demo open for the public, but I have installed it in my dev 
machine at home (where I also have Zope, CMF, PostNuke, etc.), and it does have 
separation of content/presentation/logic, so you can change the look radically 
from the 'standard' look it comes. I also like you can have as many 
categories/subcategories, you can place an article in more than one category, 
there's a way for internationalization, and there are other modules that can be 
  easily added. Also the admin screen is very easy to use, and can be easily 
taught to a total newbie. Not that all of the above cannot be done in Zope, I 
am just saying that comes out of the box with ezPublish...

ezPublish is not PHPNuke or PostNuke (both considered by many excellent 
software, I reserve my opinion either way ;-), ezPublish offers much more 
flexibility and chance for customization than these.

I was thinking the best of both worlds would be if the ezPublish developers 
decided to port it to Zope...;-)

Regards,

Jorge M.
