This would be the same whichever solution is chosen. But you don't have to 
use Zope's http server. It runs fine as a cgi process if required.

In fact Zope is a wonderful integration platform. I work for eGenix.com 
which produces the mxODBCZopeDA - an ODBC driver for Zope. Most of the 
customers are using Zope to integrate existing systems.

Will do my best - for Zope there is going to be little or no change to 
source, simply customisation.

Trac is more difficult as my data model is significantly different to the 
default so I think it will be difficult to see my changes integrated in 
Trac. However, if Tic can help me to get Trac to run on Zope, we'll be 
counted as heroes.

Oh, I have time. Just need to get paid as well!

Zope is relatively low maintenance in my experience. I am less experience in 
general system administration and particularly as a DBA and tuning the the 
RDBMS is often very important.

Anyway. Let's see how things go.
