[Zope] Zope on local machine and ZSynched to a server - could it be like Radio Userland?

Peice of cake. I started thinking about this one time playing around with
Blogger. Blogger allows you to publish your site out to an ftp server. It
wouldnt be much different if one ftp'd out your say Squishdot web log onto a
plain and cheap site with ftp access (with the obvious static problem).

It would be very cool. However there is obviously quite a bit of work on
ZSyncer alone for that sort of reliability and redundancy (and all the Zope
2 cruft). Not sure if there is a good commercial application for it though
;)
