Preface:
I am somewhat new to Zope/CMF, but have decided to use it at my
University based on what I have seen so far. If the question I have is
inappropriate for this list, someone let me know. I don't mind figuring
it out on my own, but the combination of both products is a little
daunting to me.

We would like to use the Zope/CMF to host our student web pages. The
catch is we don't want to store the actual web content for each
student's page in Zope. We currently have our students pages hosted via
apache, and would like them to remain on the file system for easy
restorability.

I want to modify CMF so that when regular member is created, one of two
things could happen:
1. The members folder is created, but the index_html just redirects
anyone browsing there to their real webpage.
OR
2. When I click on the members folder, that is really just link to the
correct location for the students real webpage.

Is there a programming guide for Zope/CMF that would help me figure this
out?
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I guess related to all this: I need to create about 20,000 member
accounts. Anyone have a script that would help me out with this?

I didn't see a way to search this lists archives, or I would have looked
there first.
