Indeed, that's an idea. In fact, this is just what we are doing here at Enfold. We have created 'Entransit' [1] which receives data from a Zope 2 site and semi-bakes it to the filesystem. And then this semi-baked data can be served by any frontend (we've got working frontends in Java, PHP, ASP.NET and Zope 3). More specifically, the Zope 3 frontend uses 'zope.paste' to bind together the Zope 3 WSGI application and a XSLT filter. To serve content from the filesystem we use a custom Publication object that returns a different root 'application' object and from there we use custom IBrowserPublisher and ITraversable adapters that lookup files on the filesystem and construct simple stub objects to represent those. Some advantages are: a) you can control all aspects of traversal, you're not tied to the filesystem hierarchy b) you work with the stub objects instead of with the files directly so it all works just like the object had come from the ZODB (except for persistence, the system doesn't write back to the fs) This Zope 3 frontend might be released soon, even under ZPL if there's interest.
