[Zope] Using Zope to generate offline content

[David Burton]

Thanks for that reply.
I'm in an ongoing 'Zope advocacy' mode at work - although they're looking at CMSs such as most of those mentioned they're still unwilling to look into Zope 
despite the fact I've been using Zope for my own personal websites for more than a year now...

Basically I work for a web programming/consultancy company in the UK, and would rather see Zope at least evaluated properly.

Does anyone have (or know of) any particularly good Zope Advocacy documents as I'm wanting to make a presentation regarding the merits of Zope to the 
directors at some point.

Thanks,
David Burton
