[Zope] Need Ideas on how to accomplish personalized web pages!

[Troy Farrell]

If you would like your brain to explode <joke>, have a look at the CMF 
coupled with DCWorkflow 
http://cmf.zope.org/Members/hathawsh/DCWorkflow/DCWorkflow-0.4.2.tar.gz/view

What you need would be a Python Product (or ZClass) designed to work in 
the CMF, DCWorkflow, and the backend database.  This would allow a 
start-to-finish means of following the order.  When a user creates the 
order, the state is new.  When someone in your company accepts the 
order, they change the status to 'in process' or something.  After 
shipping, change the order status to 'shipped'.  DCWorkflow rocks!  Oh. 
  That sound was my brain exploding.
