I've been hacking Python now for 6 years. I just picked up Zope last month and found the learning curve to be quite steep. It's not just you. There's a lot of stuff there. > I would like to start my next web project (a database of demographic > info on scientists in Africa) on Zope 3. Could anybody point me in the > right direction? Where should I start? After you look through the tutorial (which is simply a Zope product you can add from the main page of the ZMI (Zope Management Interface), have a peek at the Zope book (http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/view). Don't worry about the version (2.6) of the book. It's the latest they have (I think they're working on a new one for z3). You can skip the bits about DTML, but keep them handy. You should also take a look at the Zope user list: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope Hope this all helps. -- Steve Juranich Tucson, AZ USA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
