Hi Raphael, Most of my work with Plone involves what are essentially "Zope" applications in a "Plone/CMS Site", so the border between Plone's content and the Zope artefacts that make up my application is of particular interest to me.
FWIW, I use ZPT/ZSQL/Python objects in Plone folders, and implement workflow on the Plone folders and use the Zope security for the (non-Plone) folders contents, which works very well.

Since I get so much leverage from using Zope products which "play nice" with Plone, I think that there is some benefit in making such options better understood. -- Regards, PhilK Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public key: http://www.xfr.co.uk Voicemail & Facsimile: 07092 070518 "You'll find that one part's sweet and one part's tart: say where the sweetness and the sourness start." - Tony Harrison _______________________________________________ Setup mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup
