This is the application that I have been looking at Zope for. I am thinking
of something that is a cross between Slashdot and c|net. (Or you can
think of it as Slashdot with a category hierarchy.)

I didn't even put in the effort to get the Slashdot code running after
taking a look at it.

Yes! I'd be interested in using/contributing to this. After seeing someone
else's message, I took a look at HTML::Mason for perl, and that just does
not have the same power that Zope does.
