Zopening Up
17-Jan-2006As CMS Report readers know, the open-souce Zope content management platform has traditionally been highly customizable but curiously self-contained. With the new Zope 3 effort, the platform is beginning to open up a bit. Most importantly, Zope has announced that it is switching out its own ZServer webserver with a more broadly-supported webserver, Twisted.Web, built on the "Twisted" python framework from Twisted Matrix Laboratories. Some might still prefer Apache, but Twisted is known for its scalability and security, so it's a definite improvement over ZServer. Twisted, by the way, is a young community worth watching. Meanwhile, Seth Gottlieb details how he managed to get a large, Zope-based CMS installation to run off an Oracle database, in lieu of the embedded Zope Object DB.
