I think the point that you are missing is that Zope is a development environment, not an out of the box BBS or portal.
Zope is a tool to create very powerful web based applications. I have developed several applications that do not fit into the a PostNuke type system. A few of them include a tracking system for help calls for our help desk, a tool for our software engineers to operate at SEI level 4 (we won't get into that here), and a system for my assistant sysadmins (FAQ's, server information, How-TO's etc..).
As far as all the Zope sites being hard to navigate, I'm sure that is because a programmer created the site and not a web designer. (I don't want the frills, just the info)
We do have a problem, but I am a government contractor, they will hold on to this equipment until the contract dies, in a few more years.
I have made the point over and over again on the amount of money they (or we the tax payers) could save if we bought newer equipment. You don't even want to know how much we pay for support. In fact we just paid well over 10 grand for 4 9 gig hard drives to replace the single ended SCSI that originally cam in the machine.
Sure, but kick off about 10 concurrent compile jobs and see how they compare.
Are developers no longer compile directly on the I70 (Y2k issues)It's main purpose it to run many perl scripts that track our development and run an Oracle 7 database. Any more than 10 perl scripts running concurrently will make the machine grind to a halt. (I am running HPUX 11 with 384 meg of ram)
Come to think of it that is quite a load for such an old server. But there is no way that the maintenance contracts alone justify the cost.
I thought of using DVD's for backups also. The problem I see is that the capacity is way to small, it may work for replacing a DDS-1 drive but for most backups I can't get away without using a DDS3. If you have ever conducted a restore over many tapes (remember 6525 tapes?) you know that if tape 3 out of 5 is bad your screwed.
That being said, I prefer to use one large tape. On some of my older HP machines I can fit an entire backup on one DDS3, that means no incrementals are needed. How sweet is that?
When writing inhouse applications or when building something with unsupported tools documentation is key. If your code is commented and you keep a "Journal" as you go someone else will/should be able to pick up where you left off. This is common coding practice.

even x86 servers take a lot of money to measure up to the HP 9000 we're running our development system on.
What HP9000 are you using? I am the admin of an I70 and a K200, both with 2 CPU's. My PIII 800 compile time is much faster than these refrigators.

I use Notes with Wine just fine, and I use a lot of custom databases.
Your taxpayer dollars are paying good money to port from one completely propietary platform (2k/ASP) to another (ORACLE/SUN).
You wouldn't be working on a DOD project would you? If not I assure you that a lot of the US governement is moving to Oracle 9i.
True, I still have a Redhat 4.0 (colgate) server running serving apache on my intranet.
I have no reason to update it.

Does OE6 require MSN IM?
I mean why rewrite outlook to use HTTP when there are open mail protocols?
To force you to use Outlook. Ever notice the web ads that appear on the bottom of outlook while reading hotmail?
From the article:
Ivie says he sent a letter to Raath's old address and never got a reply
He did try to send him a notice.
Bulletin boards with searching and querying
Dynamic news pages
User-definable home pages
Don't only look at Zope but some of the addons. Squishdot may handle the Bulletin board and news pages. Most of your work may already be done.
I developed a helpdesk call logger and resources page in a day using Zope.
>What an explosive needs to detonate is heat and pressure
Also having served as an Ammo guy in the US Marine Corps, I thought it was friction and heat. Not that there is much differance anyway..
They don't include the i386 ISO's because they include commerical software. You can download SPARC and Alpha though. This is stated on their site.
You must not be from Indianapolis or any other major city. His friends and him more than likly would have shot him if he had confronted him.
The best move is to leave. I know it sounds like the cowardly thing to do, and I was a US Marine.
Is it just the professions who share some element of physical danger
I am the contracted sysadmin of an HP 9000/I20 owned by the government. I know Danger
I always figured anything sensative for military use would be stored on a proprietary government network
It's called SIPRNET, and is well protected.
