Hi -

The converters are easier than people might think...
Once you get the data sucked down into an xml file - there are different java classes (no reason they couldnt be python-ized) to build the xml into a PDF etc.

I am curious about the internationalization of the zope interface, but more importantly is having provisions to have a ZOPE'ed site be presented in MANY languages. Havent looked this up yet. But, to do it right - it can get pretty tricky. Java has books and books on the subject. But, again with Python - since everything is always easier in Python :) - it probably is 1% of the lines of Java code etc...

Hmmm?
