Drupal is pretty good. Be prepared to tear your hair out if you're used to object-oriented design -- Drupal is built around a system of hooks, and you make a new module by implementing some of those hooks. So you can't easily derive functionality from any of the built-in objects. And everything is extremely closely tied to the database. But if you can swallow any software-design principles you might have, it does work. (I do the Web site for Macalester College's student newspaper using Drupal.) Zope is very sophisticated and extremely difficult to learn, so I didn't. It uses a built-in database system that's a tricky to get the hang of, and it has its own internal language for doing page templates like PHP. It's pretty good stuff, but probably overkill unless you have a lot of people simultaneously working on a very complicated site. -- DF -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...
