Hi Butch,

#Although distributed transactions is already implemented, the Zope BDFL
#(Jim Fulton) 
#is actively working on  improving it precisely because they want to target 
#progressively larger and larger sites
#
#see http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/FrontPage
#

I've been sourcing for information about distributed transactions in Zope,
but I can't seem to find it.  It's not in the page you asked me to look
at.  Do you know where I can read more information about it?  

#I dont see any major obstacle for Zope not to take on enterprise class
#projects except
#that j2ee simply has more momentum in the corporate world...
#

I believe it's closely associated to Sun's marketing more than anything
else.  It's quite different if there's a company actively cutting deals,
and marketing a development platform.

I've read about Zope's features, and architecture, and I see a strong
resemblance with J2EE containers. I think Zope's share of enterprise apps
will grow in the next few years.  App servers are the way to go.

#My own experience (with servlets though/not j2ee) has simply been that I
#ended up preferring
#python/zope over java/servlets/webmacro/tomcat/interbase (although if
#you pay me enough, 
#I'll do it any which way you want). I can't exactly explain it -- its
#just that I have 
#more fun programming in python rather than in java. 
#

We're in the same boat, but one the other side -- I've been reading stuff
about Python/Zope, but in my line of work, I don't see it being used, at
least in the immediate future.   

#I'd urge you to play with python or even jython (if you want to call
#your java objects 
#using python and vice-versa)... maybe you'll end up agreeing with me ;^)
#

We'll see.  I'm slowly getting a hang of Python.  But not enough to 
make software that people will actually pay for. ;)

BTW are there distributed component models in Zope much like EJBs in
J2EE?  If there is, I'd probably enjoy it more if I start from there. :)

BTW Are you telecommuting?  If so, would you mind if I ask you some
operational details (privately, of course) ?   I'm telecommuting too, but
I'm just curious how it works across continents (if you still work of a
US-based company that is).

stay cool.
