Ofer, it would be nice to have a shiny site based on zope, specially if
you volunteer to build and maintain it on your own server. However, I
don't know if zope is the best solution to our modest needs.
Lets talk first about our needs:
* Some mostly static content about us
* Some dynamic content about our events - usually the monthly meeting
* An easy way to edit the content
* Easy to join and contribute - login should be optional
* Automatic spam protection, because we don't have time to clean our
site
* We may create some content about Python (e.g tutorials)
* Complete Hebrew support
* Good support for left to right section within right to left page
(e.g include code in a hebrew page)
I think a simple wiki can serve us nicely.

Hi all
I have new idea - upgrading python.org.il to Plone CMS baesd website.
Plone is an out-of-the-box ready content management system that is
built
on the powerful and free Zope Application server. It requires minimal
effort to set up, is deeply flexible, and provides you with a system
for
managing web content that is ideal for project groups, communities and
intranets.
Zope itself is written in Python, an easy-to-learn, widely-used and
supported Open Source programming language.
Few other python groups around the world already using Plone for the
group's website.
Plone has many ready products that can be used for the website and for
other projects.
3 Examples:
http://www.nyzope.org/
http://zpugdc.org/
http://trizpug.org/
I did basic design for the site - just the information that now
python.org.il has.
