Hi,
I am new to Zope and I plan to develop a small web site. I am developing at the moment on windows although the final site will go under Linux. I am almost finished reading the zope book. First thing, it was difficult to download Zope. The website lists two versions of zope 2.9.x and 2.10.x , none of which has a windows installer, although the book explicitely said there should be one :-) I had to get back to 2.9.4 to get a windows installer, that would not work out of the box. I was also confused of whether I should use zope 2 or zope 3. The zope book does not mention anything about it, but I soon figured out that the zope book seem to be made for zope 2. I also had a look at different products but it is very difficult to tell if they are for zope 3 or zope 2. Or is zope 3 backward compatible with zope 2 ? Is there any doc about zope 3 ? Since the book is made for zope 2, I think I'll stay with that one. I can not go without documentation. As a newcomer, I must say that the documentation is not very consistent or easy to find. Many resources speak about a zope wiki, which does not exist anymore. Another zope wiki is available, but is not cited in the main documentation page. The main wiki page is a huge list of modules, where it is difficult to find one's path. I assume the wiki is mainly for developers, not for users, right ? The main documentation page of zope also points to zdp.zope.org as a documentation project effort, but the website does not exist. :-( Now, the second step. I now have a basic understanding of how zope works thank to the zope book. I want to start developing my website. I had a look at the different products available and my god ! there are hundreds of them. So, I am asking for advice. My website is going to be fairly simple. I need a user base which I don't expect to grow beyond 100 users, and for each user I need a pretty typical login/register/lost your password page and probably a cookie based session tracking. Any product that covers my needs ? I had a quick look at a few user products, but most of them seem to be targetted to authenticate users through external resources (database, apache, ...) while I just need the good old cookie way.
