There are various ways of doing this "File Storage", etc. but they are not suitable for large files. At Europython there was a demonstration of Tramline which uses mod_python to synchronise between apache and Zope: ie. Zope assigns an id to the objects but all the serving is done by Apache. The ZODB is more than capable of storing skins, images, etc. for most websites. > > > Michael, could you please install Plone on our server?

I don't think you can do the necessary work in a PythonScript due to security restrictions. XUF is pretty powerful and suitable for single sign ons and I've worked with it so I'm happy to help. > Also, Plone 3.0 will have a new nice interface. I'm okay with the > current interface.

Do you know if that is possible? mm, phpBB is a PIA but there are very few forum products for Zope (squishdot is one I think) because Zope users generally use mailing lists. I would be tempted to work on converting the data just because I hate phpBB so much! > We'll also have to convert the build factory's website into a Plone > package... As I'm not familiar with what the build factory does I'll just have to nod at this. I assume you mean create a Zope product for it. This is fairly straightforward: you wrap some declarations around standard Python code.
