[Zope] Re: [Zope-dev] Zope Book call for assistance

DTML needs to be given the same amount of attention as it always has. For
some bizarre reason, DTML makes sense in my head....even complicated
logic... "Doctor! Do I need help?"

It's one of the reasons I really liked Zope three years ago when starting
with it.... The tag structure just made sense and was similar to a tool I
used to get database calls and logic on a web page...

"Long live DTML!!"
