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. > I would like software that allows and facilitates collaborative or > simultaneous projects over the net.

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. srl ------------------------------ /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Julie Meloni i2i Interactive (east) Technical Director 703-813-5526 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.i2ii.com /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ ************ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org
