Our university dumps a lot of money and resources in to sakai. I wanted to understand why. I think the reason is that there is a general terror of doing something other than something based on java. So, I wanted to know if there was a comparison of things provided by sakai and things provided by zope. It seems that terminology is the problem. I the alphabet soup of termonology used to describe things really says very little about the environment. What is an application server? What does it mean to 'support java'? What does it mean to say this is xml based? These are the kinds of things that really hide important operational details about the environments they describe. sorry if this is not very clear. > > If we know that, we might be able to find a comparable "apple" running > on Zope, or for that matter using any of the various web-based > frameworks that abound. so, sakai might be said to be a bundle of java products, much like plone might be said to be a bundle of zope products (not being strict as the what 'product' means; ie plone is cmf and zope and etc. )? > > DSL -- David Bear phone: 602-496-0424 fax:602-496-0955 College of Public Programs/ASU University Center Rm 622 411 N Central Phoenix, AZ 85007-0685 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing" ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] zope and sakai comparison
Sacscha, Our university has dump a lot of money into sakai. I don't know anything about it but I wonder if someone has compared sakai with zope? I don't know Sakai either, but a 30 seconds look at http://sakaiproject.org makes me belive that you are compaing apples and oranges. Nowhere does that website say that Sakai is an application server - which is what Zope is. Sakai is a tool supported by many academic institutions (generally of the University Level) to manage course, participants, teaches and resources required to support that [eg. assessment tools, collaboration tools]. As you say, it is -not- an application server and in fact runs inside a Java application server itself (its demo runs against tomcat but I'm led to believe any Java compliant servlet container will run it). A better question for David to answer might be: why do you want to compare Sakai with anything else, what is the actual reason for the question? If we know that, we might be able to find a comparable "apple" running on Zope, or for that matter using any of the various web-based frameworks that abound.

Nowhere does that website say that Sakai is an application server - which is what Zope is. It seems to be a "collaboration tool", so maybe you could compare it to SchoolTool on Zope (3, I believe)?

I only say adopt a good web framework and make it yours ... Zope is a good as it gets ... and I've never seen a smarter (so smart I feel below average :-) ) group that will help you than in the Zope community.
