You really should take a look into Webware then (webware.sf.net). It
doesn't always have to be Zope. Webware is very lightweight compared
to Zope and is written with a strong focus on doing things "the Python
way" while I see Zope often doing things "the Zope way", whatever
that is. Webware has a great share of Java converts on board.

But I don't want to push things for a pure-data.org 2.0 in a certain
direction. I just won't be of much help with the technical side, if
the future CMS is PHP, because I don't have time to learn another
language (that currently is useless inside Pd).

So if enough people are found for a PHP solution, that's absoluetly
fine with me. I'd probably prefer Zope but with Zope or Webware, we
might run into problems finding a decent ISP.

ciao
