[Zope-dev] PHP vs Zope cost benefit

[Jason Spisak]

Curiously, if there are prepackage scripts for both, and  
there's less to 'mange' with PHP, that's a PHP win.  I 
personally have CalendarTag, ZDataQueryKit and lots of yummy 
others runing from the downloads page.  But since I'm trying to 
convince PHP people that using Zope is better, they just point 
to their yummy scripts too.  

I think Oliver's point about transaction safety is a big win.  
I might convince them just on that.  But I'm still looking for 
more ammunition.
