Though I like working with ZClasses, I would have to agree with you. When
things get much beyond a "Document Template" sort of requirement, working in
python seems to be much more efficient. And the nice thing is that you can
still use ZClasses to allow for easy, user-defined sorts of properties.

If it weren't for the fact that *all* of my cycles have been taken up
lately, I would probably be interested in contributing to a News tool that
meets most news site requirements...
