[Note: For the thuddingly literal out there, I am not actually advocating that anyone do this.]
Go into the homes of the 180solutions executives. Rewire all their consumer electronics, from their refrigerators to their Tivo boxes. Make it very difficult to figure out what has been changed, or how to change it back. Leave a note behind saying, "We saw how you were using your home electronics and thought we could help!"
Seriously, I see no difference between this scenario and what adware/spyware companies do with your PC. Even the EULA on adware-loaded software doesn't make it clear what's going to happen once this stuff gets unleashed on your hard drive.
I was actually thinking of a web site created with Zope being a portal view on content in Xythos (files and folders). Zope is therefore "on top" of Xythos, along with any other content repositories to which it points (including its own fragments that Zope assembles into the web site).
As a card-carrying member of Xythos Software, I feel compelled to point out an important functional distinction between Xythos Digital Locker and Zope.
Xythos Digital Locker: A desktop- and web-based tool for document collaboration.
Zope: A template-driven tool for building web sites.
The two might be very complementary in a hypothetical deployment. Zope could provide the web site view of a lot of content, some of it in Xythos. There's also a new Xythos solution that adds "basic document management" features like document classes, custom metadata, and workflow.
P.S. This is not an advertisement. Since I'm in product management, I'm always interested in how people might want to use Xythos, and I welcome feedback here or privately via e-mail. No salesperson will call you.
