Hello,
I am very new to Zope, but am impressed about the way it enables you to =
formalise site logic and the look and feel. However in the short time =
I've been using Zope, it does not seem to be a very suitable environment =
for non-technical people to add content to the site. Preferably, I would =
like people to be able to create new or modify existing content items, =
possibly with some workflow, without them having the need to edit =
html/dtml documents. For example, a content editor is presented with a =
form for each content type, where he can enter the relevant data in =
plain text and when the form is submitted, the data is entered as Zope =
objects in the zope server.
Did I overlook some features in Zope or are there readily available =
modules that accomplish this? Do I have to build it myself?
Regards, Robert
