Yes, zope is an application framework as you describe. However, there is a
huge user community and any functionality that is provided by a slash-like
site has already been written by someone and is usually downloadable for
free. And if something isn't there, we can get Rice to code it up in Perl
;). The benefit of Zope is in it's flexibility and extensibility.
I'm going to do some experimenting with it over the next couple of weeks and
see how it goes. However, if everyone agrees that the need to update
linux.ca is needed more urgently, we should use a solution that's faster to
implement.
