Agreed, the FAQ could be updated to include this. However, there are no objective answers to questions of preference like this. Q: Why choose Midgard over a plain scripting language (PHP, Perl, etc) A: Midgard provides a ready-made framework for implementing web sites. This framework includes permissions handling, site templating and separation of content from site structure and several other features. In addition, Midgard provides multiple easy-to-use site administration and content management user interfaces, including Aegir CMS, Asgard and the PHPmole IDE. Using an existing Content Management Framework enables site developers to concentrate on the actual site implementation instead of having to reinvent the wheel. Q: Why choose Midgard over Zope A: Both provide stable, well-performing and popular Content Management Frameworks. The choice mostly boils down to personal preferences on languages (PHP vs. Python) and user interfaces (Aegir CMS vs. Plone). For end-user organizations an important consideration here is also availability of service providers for these platforms. > Fred. /Bergie -- Henri Bergius [EMAIL PROTECTED] Consultant Partner Tel: +358-20-198 6032 Nemein Oy http://www.nemein.com/ Nemein.Net -- Project tracking solution for consulting companies http://www.nemein.com/Nemein.Net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
