Absolutely right on-topic! Anyone not thinking in these

No, but we may have ambitions in this area. Note though, that a
versatile CMS allows you to access content in an existing file
system aswell as more structured repositories.

Zope might be part of such a framework.

No but we ought to.

Not sure I understand "web based content stores" - is a web-enabled
database one such? If so, yes, in a modest way at present.

I suppose Harvard Business School may get close. They stuff more-or-less
everything into a Oracle database (QuickTime movies included) as I recall.
