Yes. But I thought I'd handle users with some other
product, being that the site isn't just this
projects part, but a Squishdot site, some discussion
forums, and some other stuff. Wouldn't I want to use
some sort of "generic user product"?

Um, see above. :-)

Well, I'm not against it. But, what sort of scale are
we talking? 2 days of work? 2 weeks of work?
2 months of work? At some point, it isn't worth it.
I know Zope can do these things, but I have NO IDEA
how to go about implementing it yet.

Thanks for the help. I'm still learning. Zope is
really great, but I unfortunately can't spend more
than a few hours a week messing with it. Hence my
hope for a "simple" solution.

I wish I could find a Zope expert who wants to donate
some time and effort to the cause of private space
exploration. <hint hint> If only those people would
e-mail me, I could get some one-on-one help... :-)
