Content management frameworks have intrigued me for a long time. Zope is my current favorite.

I got taken in by a wonderful April Fool's joke today. Simon Michel, the guy behind my favorite discussion board technology, the Zwiki, announced he had decided after much analysis that Zope and Python weren't up to the task of managing such a complex project, so he was switching to Ruby!
I nearly gagged. I went to the site and entered my urgent plea not to let this happen without at least handing the project to someone else.
Should have looked at the calendar!
I love jokes that are this good.

Groovin' on a Zwiki
I've known at least vaguely about Wiki Web stuff for quite some time. Ward Cunningham, one of the guiding lights behind Wikis and the author of the book, "The Wiki Way," has been a Smalltalk colleague for years.
But not until I got my hands on a Zwiki and began digging into it did I grok how really cool and important this stuff is. Combining a Wiki approach to Web creation and maintenance with the immense power of the Zope content management framework is so potent.
I know that on some level at least this kind of power is available through Manila and EditThisPage stuff but I think the user interface and the ease of access to the Zope "stuff" combined with my comfort level with Zope and Python have converged to make me really groove on Zwiki. I am now making my personal site Zwiki-aware. Then I'm going to experiment with moving some or all of my site over toa Zwiki model.
Stay tuned.
