Stephen:
I'm getting out of my depth here but you and others may be
interested in recent announcement from Digital Creations (creators
of Zope) entitled "Zope/XML Roadmap".
It's longish so I won't clutter up this list with it. It's on the
Zope mailing list archive and the following URL should take you
to it:

I'm interested to hear of your use of Frontier. I've had the quickest
of looks. It is rather Zope-like (but lacks a Web-enabled management
front-end as I recall).
I've just done a search of the website-info-mgt archives. "Frontier"
gets only one mention (but in an EFF context!) ..... I'm rather suprised.
"Vignette" nothing either. "Cold Fusion" 3 hits.
Are we all working harder and harder using "orthodox" approaches
to managing content and ignoring important new tools that could
help us work smarter?
