Dear Zope Users, Developers and Zope Support,
 
Let me introduce myself first. I am Raj, webmaster for International Water Management Institute (IWMI) . We are in the process of automating our workflow and document flow for our website and intranet. The solution is a Content management server. We are an International Scientific Research Organization ( Non Governmental Org ) researching on Water Management issues.  I have extensively studied a couple of content management servers and at last shortlisted two. One is Zope and the other one is Interwoven's Teamsite. Interwoven's team site boasts of a hybrid system that is both data-base driven and static document content. But as far as I have studied if I am not mistaken Zope doesnt support a hybrid solution. Its only database driven. We have already build the website up and running ( www.iwmi.org) and in the process of building our intranet. The website consists of about 6,000 to 7,000 html pages. So when it comes to migration issues to Zope, does Zope support these static documents as it is ? And does Zope support XML templating ? And does Zope support file management concepts ? And can we use Zope with Adobe Framemaker ?Other than these 4 issues I am completely satisfied with the product. Please clarify as soon as possible.
 
Thanks with regards,
 
Raj
Webmaster, IWMI, Sri Lanka.
