---------------

    Evidence of this is sprouting up in many locations.  Microsoft's
    *.NET* architecture envisions a world of web components running on
    remote systems, providing specific services to applications around
    the world.  *Frontier*, by UserLand Software, pioneered a simple
    web services protocol called XML-RPC to allow web components to
    communicate with each other (Zope also works with XML-RPC, which
    is discussed in Chapter 10, "Advanced Zope Scripting").  With web
    components, the model of a person sitting in front of the browser
    is no longer the only model of the web.

       fine, now the machines can entertain themselves.
       so finally we may leave the game

       Wondering if anyone is talking about porting the Zope package, in its entirety, to the .NET platform. Surely
       a massive undertaking, but thanks to Python .NET support as a result of ActiveState's hard work, is such an
       endeavor possible and/or feasible?
