[Zope-CMF] New CMF based site

[Tim Hoffman]

Hi

Just for your interest, a new site built with CMF has just gone live

http://www.gem.wa.gov.au

It is a little different to your usual CMF site. It is a more 
traditional marketing website,
and the CMF actions/menus etc are only there for internal publishers.

It uses two zeo clients, one externally accessable in the DMZ which has 
readonly access to the ZSS
(Zope Storage Server) and a ZEO client that is inside the network which 
has read write access,
which is used by the authors.

It utilises two different skins , a graphically oriented one, and a text 
only one.

Visitors can anonymously change their skin.

We used CMF and zope due to it's the ease with which developement can be 
conducted
rapidly (once the learning hump has been climbed ;-), because it allowed 
us to quickly provide
different behaviour for different media types, plus basic workflow for 
publishers
(roll on document versioning that's the bit we need, so much that I may 
have to build a
Document that manages just it's own versions for now) and easily skinned.

See ya
