[Zope-CMF] Customising the CMF

[ben.j.dawson at gsk.com]

Hi all,

I'm a complete newbie to Zope and CMF, so please bear with me...

I'm trying to design a content management site as part of a work project 
which can be used by my colleagues to collaborate with each other and to 
share documents over our Intranet site.

I'm planning on using the CMF and customising it so that it suits our 
needs and so far I've been very impressed with what it has to offer.

As part of the design, I need to give all users access to a global folder 
and also enable individual users to grant access to their own folders and 
documents to other users of their choice. I also need to add all kinds of 
other functionality to it, such as making the system send an email to 
certain people when a user adds a document to the site as well as having 
several forums.

Is this going to be a possibility with the CMF? Could anyone point me in 
the direction of documentation that explains how I can customise the CMF 
to our needs? I've read ZWACK chapter 5 at the CMF Dogbowl which is good, 
but doesn't really go into enough detail for what I require. I've never 
touched DTML or Python before, but I'm assuming it would be important to 
learn these?

Any pointers would be appreciated. Cheers,

Ben
