[Zope] Re: Hierarchical content

[Greg Gehrich]

What I would like is something more like the newsreader I use now 
(Thunderbird).  Users create items in a nested hierarchy without having 
to create folders to store subitems.  I can view the hierarchy and 
decide where I want to jump in and open up the detail or easily add 
detail at the appropriate nesting level (through a reply).
