Hi all: I am currently investigating Zope as a possible "tool" to use for building the back end "engine" for several projects for our company. Some of the sites we are currently doing involve E-commerce, news, etc. It is definitely a very powerful system and I think I have not even scratched the surface. I tried the QuickStart (ZAcme) tutorial and got a feel for whats involved. A few questions came to my mind and maybe I am not getting the "right picture" so to say but I would very much appreciate if someone could take the time to answer these: 1. If we were to go ahead and start using Zope as a "back-end engine" to build websites, basically a team of 3-4 people would be involved. Do they have to have knowledge of Zope? For example, I am the back-end guy....creating, programming the middle tier code for database access and what not. The guy who does the front-end (ie html code, layout ) and graphics guys are not very technical. How will I go about "importing" the front end code within Zope? Are there any modules for DreamWeaver etc (Windows based tools) that integrate with Zope? 2. What about stuff like importing legacy websites? For example, our main website is built using ASP running IIS. I was planning to recode it all in PHP + MySQL. Are there any "straight forward" ways to migrate legacy stuff easily? Again, please accept my apologies if this stuff is covered in the documentation somewhere. So far, I have gone through the Zope Content Manager guide and did not see any details about these questions there. I am in the process of browsing through the mailing list archives and I am sure I will find a lot of info there. Any tips and suggestions are highly appreciated.
