Hmm. That looks like an excellent product. But I think it's overkill. What 
I'm doing is developing a product called *Easy Site* which I'm dubbing *CMF 
for brochureware*. Lots of newbies to Zope struggle with all there is to 
learn. This is particularly acute if you're not a programmer and are going 
up that hill, too (I know ;) And I bet many of these newbies, like me, are 
mainly interested in building small Web sites for their clients who are 
small businesses (mom-and-pops). These sites only need to be brochureware. 
Wouldn't it be nice if a newbie to Zope could grab this product and without 
much customization at all have a site blinking its eyes in a couple of 
hours (or even minutes)? One that had all sorts of cool bells and whistles? 
One that would also serve as a tutorial to learn how to do tricks with 
Zope? That's what I've been building unawares for a couple of years. 
So...internationalization. All brochureware sites really need is different 
folders for different languages that are called via whatever the 
HTTP_HEADER has. These sites don't go out of date because they're never 
updated (I know ;)

But I've figured it out now. Sometimes I think I'm as thick as a brick ;)
