[Zope] Social Networking over Zope

Hi Pablo,

concurrency is hopefully handled by your database (e.g. PostgreSQL).
Zope is scalable, so I se no problem on that side either.

depends on how fast database changes should be viewable by your users.
This could differ between sections on your server. Personal data - 
immediately, people interconnection after two hours, ...

Because these people don't kow better. ;)

Our Zope application has also some very volatile data. Caching can not 
be done so easily. But still Zope provides easy user handling, good 
database connectivity.
