<body><div style="display: block; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">Hi everybody,<br><br>I was thinking about trying to develop a social-networking site, like myspace.com or facebook.com (well, on a much smaller scale of course). Elements I'd like to make available for the users are:<br>- profile with photo gallery<br>- blog<br>- instant messages to other online users<br>- chat functionality<br>- forum/discussion boards<br>- "internal" mail system<br>- ... (should be extensible)<br><br>After looking for information for quite some time, I am still not quite sure what to do:<br><br>1) Do you think Zope/Plone would be the right thing for this kind of project, or rather some Java CM-system (with better performance maybe since it is compiled and not interpreted?) or some PHP-system? (not a fan of PHP, to be honest... I favor python)<br><br>2) Now, the main question: Zope or Plone? I don't completely understand the difference between these two...<br><br>I would really appreciat
e some help/other opinions on this matter.<br><br>Thanks a lot, Martin<br></br><p style="margin-top:11px;padding-top:3px;background-image: url(http://mail.lycos.co.uk/Images/Mail/_content/dot.gif);background-repeat: repeat-x;background-position: 0px 0px;"><br>
