Gordon,

be assured there are multiple ways to do the things you describe, if you
decide to explore zope/zwiki. Here's a few pointers:

- load_site.py (in SOFTWARE_HOME/utilities)

- automate web api operations with wget/curl scripts

- http://zwiki.org/HowToCreateZWikiPagesWithPut then bulk upload via ftp/webdav

- use the alternate storage which keeps all zope objects on the filesystem
  (DirectoryStorage ?)
