It's an object-oriented system for building web applications. It's built
in Python. Things you get when you build a site with Zope that you don't
get using PHP, mod_perl, ASP, or ColdFusion: 

- -a built-in object database to store web data, as well as support for
SQL
databases
- -separation of content and presentation
- -a built-in administrator's interface that lets you (and users you
select)
edit their own pages or sections of a site.
- -user access control with support for user roles and groups
- -an object-oriented system that sees a website as a whole application, 
not as a bunch of scripts tied together.

see www.zope.org for more info, or ask a question and I'll try to answer
it. I'm by no means a wizard with Zope, but i think it's really cool.

Yeah. the organizers of the Zope project have succeeded in doing this
pretty well IMO--- they have an automated weekly newsletter that tells
people about what different contributors have done that week.
