[Zope] Seeking advice on Zope implementation

"In Zope 3 you can turn off as many unwanted features as you like"

That sounds really cool.  How so?
(Is there a tentative list of all zope 3 services?  Do you need to run
all of them?)

Hi,

it all depends what your app is like. Can you describe it some more?

In Zope 3 you can turn off as many unwanted features as you like. So
from this point of view Zope 3 would be good.

Why? You first use ZPT to create XML and then an XSLT engine to create
HTML. 
This seems like a slow approach to me. ZPT can generate HTML right away,
which is much faster. Unless you already have your content in XML, an
XSLT engine is total overkill.

Zope 3 does not rely as heavily on the ZMI as Zope 2 and in fact all
code is developed on the filesystem, so in this case it might be better
for you.

I think you should go with Zope 3. Several projects have already
successfully integrated their Pyton code into Zope 3.
