[Zope] Web application for Property company

[Brian]

Yes,
I've been thinking to use CMF.
But I still cannot find how to deploy a product into CMF.

The problem: there is very little CMF documentation.
For the skinning issue, there shouldn't be a big problem, as I can look
thorugh the whole portal_skin
But besides this, I don't know how those portal products are related. ->
very confusing.

I've just seen a new book released about CMF. But it is in french. Hmm..
there is no english version yet.
So, at this moment, CMF is best option.
But I still think to develop it without CMF due to poort CMF documentation.

thanks,
Brian
