For custom applications, you'd be better off looking at Plone's underlying Zope app server. As an alternative to TG, you may want to consider Django. Memos and non-database apps would probably be okay with just Plone. In fact, for memos, design notes, developer documentation, you'd be best off considering a collaborative editing solution such as Wiki (of which there are numerous variants in any programming language you want). Though some may suggest a single system to fit all needs, unless you require tight integration (e.g. memos reflect real-time inventory information), you'd probably do well deploying them as separate "best of breed" applications. You can customize the UI to make the differences less apparent. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
