What you're describing is exactly the issues (well, some of them :) that we've addressed in making Zope a viable out-of-the-box product for our commercial product. A result of our efforts are the two GUIs that we're making available - the Mac OS X and Windows Zope Controllers. http://www.bizarsoftware.com.au/resource_centre/articles/open_source.html Note, the screenshots are a little different to the current version - but the general idea is still the same. I hope to make a "batteries included" Zope distribution for both platforms that include the controllers and some pre-installed products. We don't know which products they'll be yet because the idea's still very young :) Fishbowl proposal has been created - I'm announcing it in another thread.
